"The summit is a great opportunity to catch up with local Mayors and General Managers to discuss various issues, get real-time project updates and hear about any areas of common concern," Ms Cooke said.
"Coming together in this format means that I can take each issue forward and better advocate for our collective of small communities, something we have done on a regular basis since early on in my first-term as the local Member."
Joining the summit virtually on the day were several of Ms Cooke's Ministerial colleagues, including Premier Dominic Perrottet; Hon Rob Stokes, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Cities and the Minister for Active Transport; Sarah Mitchell, Minister for Education and Early Learning; Bronnie Taylor, Minister for Regional Health, Minister for Mental Health, Minister for Women, and; Dugald Saunders, Minister for Agriculture and Minister for Western New South Wales.
