Chamber welcomes coordinator-general appointment

Peninsula Chamber of Commerce president Mr Matthew Wales has welcomed the State Government's announcement that Ms Lee Shearer will be appointed as the new Coordinator-General for the Central Coast.

"The new Coordinator-General position is a very positive and important step forward for the Central Coast at a time when planning, infrastructure, employment and housing need to be facilitated and championed at the highest level," said Mr Wales.

"Our business community has been pushing hard to ensure that the Central Coast region receives the best possible resources and tools to facilitate some of the key infrastructure issues including the redevelopment of the Gosford foreshore accelerating housing growth.

"The creation of the Coordinators Generals role is timely with the merger of the old Gosford and Wyong Council's and the upcoming Local Government elections.

"This is an important transition period for the region and it makes sense that a Coordinator General be appointed to ensure that the big agenda is pushed along in the interests of the entire Central Coast.

"Lee Shearer comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience in senior management and her appointment is seen pivotal in removing roadblocks to progress during this critical transition period," Mr Wales said.
