Premier-designate Dwight Ball has picked five people who will be advising him on matters relating to his move to top job at the House of Assembly.

The transition will be chaired by Edward Roberts, a former lieutenant-governor, and includes former justice minister Kelvin Parsons, former clerk of the executive council and secretary to cabinet Gary Norris, former ACOA vice-president Paul Mills and liberal campaign co-chair Jamie O'Dea.

The Liberal Party said Ball spent Tuesday meeting with the team, who will help the incoming premier with the tasks ahead of him.

Ball is expected to speak with media, after speaking with Lieutenant Governor Frank Fagan.
