Regional Development Australia Central Coast (RDACC) Chair, Lawrie McKinna, says having four Labor MPs on the Central Coast puts the region in an advantageous position following the Minns Government’s landslide win in the March 25 State election.
“I would like to congratulate all of our elected members for the Central Coast, following the recent state elections – Liesl Tesch in Gosford, David Harris in Wyong, David Mehan in The Entrance, Yasmin Catley in Swansea and Adam Crouch in Terrigal,” he said.
“Despite some closely contested battles, there has been no change to any of our local seats and I look forward to continue working with all of them to make the Central Coast a priority in terms of funding and investment for the NSW state government.”
RDACC Deputy Chair Anna Cruckshank said that as always,collaboration would be key to achieving real results for the region.
“To date, RDACC has been successful in working collaboratively with our elected officials and regional leaders to attract more than $1.5B in regional infrastructure investment to the Coast,” she said.
“This was the result of collaboration from all levels of government and sides of politics, as well as co-operation across multiple industry and business sectors.
“With this change of state government, RDACC will continue to facilitate this level of collaboration to tackle the Coast’s key priorities including regional infrastructure investment, modern manufacturing, jobs growth and housing affordability.”
McKinna thanked all the region’s MPs for their work to date and said the results provided an opportunity to build on collective achievements.
“As a region, we have proven we can work together to achieve positive outcomes for the Central Coast community – no matter what side of politics or level of government you’re from,” he said.
“We can now strengthen these relationships and build on these collective achievements to achieve even better outcomes for the people of the Central Coast.”
