Fresh from his win he said of the voters: "They trust me, I'm honest with them, I've delivered what I promised four years ago and I've worked my guts out for them".

He said that was what they were thinking when they voted him in for his second term as the Member for Dubbo at Saturday's NSW Election.

Mr Grant had just two beers to celebrate on the night of his victory, he said, as he was busy on the phone to members of his team.

"I'm grateful to them and to the electorate," he said.

"I wanted to make sure we'd secured victory locally then my attention turned to the rest of the state."

An "exhausted and very humbled" Mr Grant had just got off the phone to Premier Mike Baird when he spoke to the Daily Liberal at his campaign office on Sunday.

He said he would meet with the Premier on Monday morning to put together the new Coalition government.

"The Liberals don't have government in their own right, it's a true Coalition government," he said.

"We inherited a government from Barry O'Farrell and Andrew Stoner but now Mike Baird and I will be putting our own stamp on it."

Mr Grant said when it came to the allocation of portfolios he planned to reduce the number he held.

"I'm not going to carry the ridiculous amounts of ministries I have been," he said.

"I had them by circumstance, not choice. I had five, and I'm proud of the work I did in every one of those, I brought about significant budgetary and policy outcomes.

"But what I end up doing will be part of my discussions with Mike (Baird) this week, and that will be about where I can best serve my community and my state."

The campaign itself had been "the most intense, most significant negative campaign against us run by the ALP in the history of our party", Mr Grant said.

"But they didn't win a single seat from the Nationals, which is comforting and shows regional NSW has faith in what we've been doing and what we're going to do over the next four years".

Labor candidate Stephen Lawrence was nevertheless pleased with Labor's showing at the ballot box, saying it was the party's best performance locally for quite some time.

He said he remained concerned NSW residents would experience cuts to health, education and their working conditions under the Coalition government.

Mr Lawrence urged NSW residents to fight those changes, as he planned to, and to hold the Coalition to account on what it had pledged for Dubbo and NSW

Mr Grant said he and his colleagues would be kept busy delivering everything they had pledged.

"There's the key infrastructure, the hospitals, bridges, roads and schools but also people want us to keep the economy strong, create more jobs and make their lives easier," he said.

Specifically, it would include delivering on pledges including $150m for stages 3 and 4 of Dubbo Hospital, a $50 million project to duplicate the LH Ford Bridge, $500 million for the Newell Highway, a Dubbo-based special-purpose school, upgrades to country roads and bridges, a new and faster XPT fleet, upgrades to water infrastructure and to tackle mobile phone blackspots, a regional procurement program to boost local jobs and local tenders and making native vegetation legislation "dead".

A statewide suite of measures announced by the Coalition to tackle the scourge of ice was another election pledge Mr Grant believed would benefit the Dubbo electorate.

When asked if the poles and wires debate (proposal to lease 49 per cent of metropolitan-based electricity assets) had an impact on the election result, Mr Grant was adamant in his response.

"None here," he said.

"It played a big part in rejecting the ALP. The ALP will claim a swing to them, which isn't correct.

"They got a greater vote in 2015 than they did in 2011, but they ran third in 2011 and their vote was always going to increase without the Labor independent.

"I got a greater vote than I did in 2011, so I got a swing to me. Their (Labor) vote has improved but it's well below the second-place getter in 2011 in Dawn (Fardell)."

Mr Grant had mixed emotions about the reshuffle that had seen his electorate gain Mudgee and Wellington from Orange in exchange for Parkes and Forbes.

"I will desperately miss Parkes and Forbes," he said.

"I love those two areas, we achieved a lot together, the vote for the Nationals there was extraordinary and reflects the great relationships we built.

"Wellington will certainly be a challenge, the people of Wellington will look to me to lead through some of those challenges, particularly when it comes to ice and other drugs and mental health issues, and I want to help Wellington."
