Charlestown MP, Jodie Harrison is calling on the state government to boost police powers so they can properly deal with wild parties and those who organise them.
Officers were confronted by a group of around 300 young people earlier this month, with some throwing bottles at police and others vandalising shopfronts on the Pacific Highway.
Jodie Harrison says action is needed now.
"It's important that motorists feel safe and it's important that people feel they can walk the street in a safe way," she said.
