Crouch appointed Secretary for the Central Coast

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has appointed Member for Terrigal Mr Adam Crouch as Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast.

"In his role, Mr Crouch will be responsible for representing the NSW Government across the Central Coast region and also to ensure locals have a voice across government," she said.

"I am proud to appoint Adam in this new role.

"He has shown a huge amount of passion and dedication for the Central Coast," she said.

"I am honoured," Mr Crouch said.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for the Coast's needs and wants to be aired at the highest levels within the NSW Government.

"It is my mission to ensure our region continues to receive its fair share of funding - now and into the future.

Mr Crouch has been Member for Terrigal since 2015 and will also remain in his State Government role as Government Whip.

Central Coast Mayor Lisa Matthews has welcomed the appointment.

"Council has been advocating for a ministerial representative for the Central Coast, or the reinstatement of the role, after it was abolished by the State Government following the election in March 2019," she said.

"While our preference was for the Central Coast to have its own Minister, as we believe we are big enough and important enough to have one, this is important recognition by the State Government of our region," she said.
