Member for Bathurst Paul Toole has confirmed that NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and the Deputy Premier, John Barilaro, will meet with key stakeholders in Bathurst. 

While here, they will officially launch the 20-Year Economic Vision for Regional NSW, which aims to deliver better economic and social benefits to individuals, families, communities and businesses. 

Mr Toole couldn’t say exactly what would be included in the economic vision, but said key areas would likely be addressed.

“I would expect it to be outlining the need for legacy projects, such as transport, infrastructure, better telecommunications and health delivery for regional communities into the future,” he said.

This will be the fourth time Ms Berejiklian has visited Bathurst.

She attended a community presentation in May, 2017, joined Mr Barilaro at the Bathurst 1000 that same year and was in Bathurst earlier this month for a two-day visit, where she made funding announcements totaling over $900,000.

Meanwhile, Mr Barilaro has made several visits himself, one of which was to open the Royal Bathurst Show in April. 

Mr Toole said the fact the NSW Government had chosen to come to Bathurst to unveil its economic vision spoke volumes about the city. 

“The fact it is being launched in Bathurst clearly shows that Bathurst is a strong regional city that is growing, that is providing lots of opportunities for investment and opportunities for young people, and clearly shows that we are in a strong position,” he said.
