"The Berejiklian Government must deliver adequate resources to Maitland to address the needs of our growing population and the mounting strain being placed on health, education and transport," Ms Aitchison said.

Ms Aitchison listed expedited construction of the new Maitland Hospital, increased staffing of all health services and funding into an inquiry on the best use of the existing Maitland Hospital site as her key health priorities.

"Recent Bureau of Health Information (BHI) data shows that the demand on Maitland's emergency department and road ambulance service outstrips the state average. We must put resources in place to meet these needs," Ms Aitchison said.

The incumbent member also said she was calling on the state government to match Labor's pre-election commitment to build new primary and secondary public schools in the Maitland electorate and deliver the promised upgrade to Ashtonfield Public School.

"The government committed to the Ashtonfield upgrade in its 2018 Budget but we are yet to see a funding commitment or timeline of works," Ms Aitchison said.

"Meanwhile many other schools, including Gillieston Public School, Maitland Public School and Maitland High School, are struggling with poor maintenance and/or significant numbers of demountables."

Road congestion, resulting from Maitland's booming population, is also a priority area for Ms Aitchison, as is the long-awaited work at Testers Hollow and the congested Raymond Terrace Road.

"Traffic at the Maitland Railway roundabout is utterly diabolical, a drain on productivity and a major safety concern," Ms Aitchison said.

"We need action by the State Government to ensure that this essential infrastructure is upgraded quickly."

Ms Aitchison is also calling for the Government to provide funding for duplication of the New England Highway between Anambah Road and Racecourse Road.
