The Hon Mark Coulton MP

Today's official opening of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority's regional headquarters in Coffs Harbour is delivering on improved access to services for the maritime sector and more jobs for regional cities.

A new regional office will open soon in Moree to support communities and local businesses from Narrabri to the New South Wales/Queensland border to identify and connect to the benefits of Inland Rail.

More Australians than ever before are accessing better mobile coverage in regional areas, thanks to the Liberal-National Government's $380 million Mobile Black Spot Program.

Significant transport savings could be on the way for farmers and manufacturers who shift their products and produce to the transformational Inland Rail.

I am deeply honoured to have been appointed to the Coalition Government Ministry on 26 May 2019 as the Minister for Regional Services, Decentralisation and Local Government.
