The Baird Government is being accused of revenue raising after secretly adding 113 new mobile speed camera locations across the state, including several in the Hunter.
The cameras will be deployed at several new locations including Minmi, Cormorant, Nelson Bay and Wollombi Roads as well as one on The Esplanade at Warners Bay.
It comes as the government confirmed it cut the Community Road Safety fund by $15.5 million last year amid record breaking revenue from red light and speed camera offences.
"It does seem to be a revenue grab given the fact the Community Road Safety fund is beig cut in such a substantial way," Charlestown MP, Jodie Harrison said.
