Mr Bromhead is the new parliamentary secretary for regional transport. He will work alongside Regional Transport Minister and Nationals deputy leader Paul Toole to improve connectivity for regional communities.
"The Berejiklian-Barilaro Government has outlined an exciting agenda for regional transport in NSW including the rollout of the new regional train fleet, investigations into fast rail and the introduction of new bus services like the Forster to Coffs Harbour service.
"I have been a strong voice for Myall Lakes and now, am excited to start listening and advocating for the needs of regional NSW in delivering improved transport.
"The regional transport portfolio will target the unique needs in our communities and together Minister Toole and I will deliver real positive outcomes on the ground," Mr Bromhead said.
Ms Williams was appointed deputy speaker, a role she said was an "enormous privilege" but came with "significant responsibility".
"Over the past eight years I have been afforded the opportunity to serve in many parliamentary roles and as always I will take this new position very seriously as I uphold the tradition and standards of the chamber," Ms Williams said.
Further north, Member for Oxley Melinda Pavey gained the water portfolio after Niall Blair stepped away from the role.
She will also hold the property and housing portfolios.
