She has put a call out for information on areas of the electorate with mobile and internet connectivity issues.
Ms Cooke says she wants to meet with and speak to locals.
“Regional NSW has been allocated record funding under the NSW Government’s $1.6 billion Regional Growth Fund, announced in this year’s budget,” Ms Cooke said.
“I want to see a fair chunk of that money spent in this electorate."
Ms Cooke said as the owner of small businesses across the electorate, she was regularly frustrated by mobile phone "dead zones".
"There are still too many places with patchy reception - my personal bugbear is on Ellerslie Road at Wombat - and I want to do everything I can to fix it."
