The NSW Government has announced significant changes to the Cabinet and Ministry to enhance leadership across essential portfolios and ensure continued investment in vital services for the people of New South Wales.
Key Ministerial Appointments and Changes
The Hon John Graham MLC will retain his current roles as Special Minister of State, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Music and the Night-time Economy, and will now permanently assume the role of Minister for Transport. Additionally, he will continue to lead the Government’s response to the ongoing toll review, ensuring continued negotiations with toll companies to reform the system.
The Hon Jenny Aitchison MP will take on the roles of Minister for Roads and Minister for Regional Transport. With regional roads now incorporated into the Roads portfolio, her extensive experience as a regional MP places her in a strong position to advocate for the needs of rural and regional communities.

With her deep understanding of the NSW Reconstruction Authority, she will be a powerful advocate for the North Coast and small businesses across the state.
