Cusack Sets Hunter Agenda

BY IAN  CROUCH

Newly appointed Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter, Catherine Cusack says council amalgamations will be one of her top priorities for the region.

Former Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Scot MacDonald will retain his Central Coast responsibilities but now becomes the Parliamentary Secretary for Planning following a re-shuffle of state cabinet.

Catherine Cusack has told the Herald the yet-to-be finalised council amalgamations were a handbrake on the region's growth and has described the Williamtown contamination issue as a disgrace which needs urgent attention.
