About Carl Scully
Carl Scully’s career spans over 30 years in both the private and public sectors. He practised law for seven years before embarking on a 17-year political career.

During Carl’s tenure in Government, he was responsible for the planning and delivery of seven of Sydney’s most extensive and iconic infrastructure projects, namely the Eastern Distributor, the Cross City Tunnel, the M5, M7 and Lane Cove Tunnel Motorways, the extensive network of Bus Only Transitways across Western Sydney and the $2.3B Epping to Chatswood rail link. He was also responsible for implementing numerous key policy reforms and master minding the delivery of transport logistics for the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
Carl returned to the private sector in 2007, joining Evans & Peck as a Principal and later as Team Leader for its Business Advisory unit. In 2012, Carl joined Evans & Peck’s parent company, WorleyParsons, as International Business Director for Infrastructure & Environment and in 2014 was appointed as Director of International Business Development for its new advisory and consulting business known as Advisian. In this role, he advised the global business on major opportunities in Africa and Latin America, engaging at a high level with government, regulators and clients, as well as with potential local business and technical partners.
In October 2015 Carl left WorleyParsons to set up his own project advisory business and was appointed as Chair of the NSW Mine Safety Advisory Council from 2015-2018.
In January 2018 the NSW State Government appointed Carl as Chair of one of its planning approval panels and in January 2020 re-appointed him in that role for a further three-year term.
Carl Scully currently chairs the NSW Mine Safety Advisory Council, runs his own project advisory business and continues to pursue his interest in history as a part time student at the University of Sydney.
Carl’s unique experience in the intricate and complicated processes of planning, funding and delivery of multibillion-dollar major projects brings valuable insight to decision makers and governments around the world. He has been a keynote speaker at workshops, seminars and conferences internationally.
