Wicks describes her time as an 'honour and privilege'
Former Member for Robertson Ms Lucy Wicks has described it as "an honour and a privilege" to represent the people of Robertson since 2013.
"Your aspirations drove me to make the Central Coast a better place to live, work and raise a family," said after the election of Labor candidate Dr Gordon Reid.
"Together, we achieved a lot.
"We invested in infrastructure that our region needed including NorthConnex and an $86.5 million package to upgrade 29 of the worst local roads across the Central Coast."
On the Peninsula, "we made improvements to sporting facilities including a new amenities building at Rogers Park in Woy Woy, and funded a redevelopment of the Umina Recreation Precinct".
"We made decisions to protect our environment including rejecting the application for the PEP-11 licence and funding Clean4Shore.
"The Health on the Streets Program has been a lifesaving initiative, delivering better healthcare for people sleeping rough.
"The Central Coast Clinical School and Research Institute was a dream held by our community for years, and now has over 800 students studying Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Nursing programs.
"This work will continue, with $18 million budgeted for a second campus in Gosford, offering even more opportunities for young people in our region.
"I want to thank my staff - the best in the business - my family, my Party and everyone who supported me over the last three terms.
"I wish Gordon Reid all the best as he embarks upon the important role of representing the people of Robertson in Canberra.
"Lastly, I want to wholeheartedly thank the incredible people of Robertson for giving me the opportunity of serving them for the last nine years.
"I will continue to serve in whatever way I can - for our community, region and nation."
