RailCorp’s IT projects $41m over budget
NSW public transport agency RailCorp is facing fresh allegations of problems within its IT department, with the state’s auditor-general publishing a report today detailing extensive delays in the delivery of IT projects and cost overruns amounting to $41.4 million.
RailCorp has been without a chief information officer for 18 months to this date, after then-NSW Transport Minister David Campbell acknowledged in June last year that its then-CIO had been stood down from the CIO role following an allegation of “dishonest or corrupt behaviour”. The CIO resigned in October.
Since last year the IT portfolio has been being managed by Railcorp’s group general manager of finance and corporate services Gary Pedersen in an acting capacity.
“IT system implementation issues in transport agencies are a concern,” the office of the State Auditor-General Peter Achterstraat wrote in a statement associated with a financial audit of RailCorp today.
In the report, Achterstraat detailed a raft of delays and cost overruns within RailCorp projects. Delimiter has invited the agency to respond to the issue.
