Open letter to residents

Hello fellow residents, My name is Dee Bocking and I am running as a Liberal in the state election. I will be your voice in parliament. I will fight in for more funding for the Central Coast and you.

I am box number two on the ballot and I need your vote to stand up for you in State Parliament. You only need to number 1 box for us to work together.

I work as an aged care and disability support worker. I know the challenges of being able to get around in our community. I will fight in Parliament for State funding to Council so they can build footpaths in our local streets and fix the potholes.

As a Mum, I know the cost of raising children. It was the Liberal Government who implemented the vouchers to help with back to school, and active & creative kids vouchers. I’m sure parents will want this support for families to continue.

It was the NSW Liberal Government who helped us all through the pandemic with the Dine and Discover and Stay vouchers for everyone.

They are still helping with rebates on your electricity and gas bills and will continue to try to lower the cost of living.

I had my own business and I know the challenges of keeping it afloat. The Liberals have a track record of supporting small businesses and I am scared that if you vote Labor or other, that the Government help will stop and that we will all pay more in the long run.

So please, Vote 1 Liberal’s Dee Bocking to keep us and NSW going forward.

Thanks

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Service is in my blood. I have worked for the Australian Red Cross and the Royal Blind Society amongst others. A few years ago I served a term in local government. Many people know me as their Weight Watchers leader / coach in Woy Woy. Different types but service all the same.

To help people is my mission. That’s why I’m standing for this state seat. An example of this service is when I learnt that the residents of Ettalong and Booker Bay were opposing a boarding house development in Ferry Road, I took their fight to Gosford Council. Despite Council staff and other councillors recommending approval, I convinced them to abandon the project and the boarding house was relocated away from the beach.

I can empathise with families, small business owners, and the aged and those on NDIS.

I try to see all sides of an issue, and I will listen to your point of view. I will be a well rounded member that will work for the common good of us all. Thanks.

Central Coast Council staff are heading back out to the community to talk all things Gosford.

CEO David Farmer said during the recent consultation on the Gosford waterfront revitalisation, Council received an overwhelming response from the community asking about the future development of the city.

“The Central Coast is a vibrant and rapidly growing region, with Gosford set to become the geographic centre of Australia’s first global city region – a region where six cities come together to become a worldleading place for education, employment and community,” Farmer said.

“Several major government and non-government projects proposed to revitalise Gosford City are approved or are working their way through the planning process.

“As identified by the NSW Government, Gosford is the chosen city for the proposed new university and TAFE campuses, upgrades to the stadium, development of the regional library, and the NSW Government’s faster train proposal.
