Former councillor to contest seat of Gosford for Liberals

Deanna Bocking

NDIS and aged care worker and former Gosford councillor Deanna Bocking has been announced as the Liberal candidate for Gosford in the lead-up to the March State Election.

A former small businesses owner, Bocking said she understands the challenges the community faces and would be a strong voice for Gosford in the Perrottet Liberal Team.

“I’ve always put my hand up to represent my community and advocate for important local infrastructure and services, previously as a local councillor, and now as the Liberal candidate for Gosford,” she said.

“As we face the challenges in front of us, and look to seize future opportunities for the Coast, it’s more important than ever that we have a strong voice in the Perrottet Government.”

Bocking is well known for her work in the community, including mentoring and coaching at Woy Woy Weight Watchers, and she previously owned and operated a small restaurant and bar at East Gosford.

“Small business is the backbone of our local economy, and after a tough few years, I’m optimistic that we’re bouncing back,” she said.

“As a former small business owner, I understand the support local operators require, and I’ll fight for their needs in the NSW Parliament.

“This election is not only about our local community, but also about the future of our great state, and I look forward to contributing to the Liberal Team that will continue to manage our state’s finances to deliver the infrastructure and services Gosford needs.”

Bocking said the Perrottet Government has a plan to support NSW families by growing the economy, boosting their budget, strengthening frontline services and investing in communities.
