NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian to visit Bathurst for third time

This will be the third trip the premier has made to the city and Member for Bathurst Paul Toole said there will be a number of stops during her two-day visit on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Ms Berejiklian will visit a school, preschool, community groups, Daffodil Cottage, Glenray industries and the war memorial carillon.

“There will be some important community projects funding announced,” Mr Toole said.

“There will also be some small grants announced as well for the community.”

Mr Toole said exactly which groups will receive funding will remain under wraps until Ms Berejiklian arrives.

He said, however, that not all visits by state premiers were about large State Government grants for projects.

“It’s not always about funding, the premier is always getting about and talking to communities and groups to find out what the needs might be in different communities,” he said.

“This is the third time the premier has been to our electorate and I can’t think of a premier who has spent so much time in regional NSW.

“It’s going to be a busy few days when the premier is in Bathurst.”

The premier visited Bathurst twice last year, once just prior to the NSW Government’s $10 million grant for a second circuit at Mount Panorama and again during the Bathurst 1000.
