During the previous eight years, he's hosted in excess of 100 Barr-beques across the region, from West Wallsend to Bellbird, Edgeworth to Milbrodale, and Laguna to Branxton.

And, in 2019, he'll head to Wollombi, Cameron Park, Greta, Broke, Kurri Kurri and Bellbird.

"It is always great to see members of the community come together to talk and look at solving problems that have arisen in their neighbourhood," Mr Barr said of the Barr-beques.

"They also give me the opportunity to get out into the community to talk to local residents about issues that are important to them."
