"I have a lot of local projects I am keen to get off the ground," he said after an emphatic win in the federal seat on Saturday night.
"It's issues like greater funding for aged care facilities. It's something I'm very passionate about. There are a number of others."
Mr Gee's vote fell by only 2.1 per cent from the previous election to reap 45.44 per cent of the first votes.
HOW YOU VOTED
His 43,400 votes exceeded the total of his two main rivals Labor's Dr Jess Jennings (21,085, 22.08 per cent) and Shooters Fishers and Farmers candidate Sam Romano (16,777, 17.57 per cent).
Mr Gee outscored his opponents at all of the 96 booths in Calare except for one in Dr Jennings' home city of Bathurst and one in Lithgow, both won by Dr Jennings, plus a booth at the Sydney Town Hall which only had 20 voters but Mr Gee was narrowly beaten by Greens' candidate Stephanie Luke.
In a statement Mr Gee said he had several key objectives.
"The issues that I want to work on over the next term of government include continuing drought relief, a community legal centre for the Calare electorate and even more local road funding for projects such as continuing the building of more passing lanes on the Cargo road," he said.
"[Also], more capital funding for our aged care facilities, making the Family Court cheaper and easier to use, funding for local water security projects, better road and rail links to Sydney, continuing to clear up mobile phone black spots and a range of other local infrastructure projects right around the electorate."
Mr Gee said solid economic management would enable such projects to occur.
"The budget is now in the black but we want to keep that good economic management going. When you do it you can deliver locally."
Mr Gee celebrated his victory at Orange City Bowling Club on Saturday night and, despite a 2.1 per cent drop in his vote, said he was gratified by the result.
"A lot of people had been predicting that our primary vote would basically collapse, and probably our opponents were hoping that it would, but we were really thrilled by the way our primary vote held up," he said.
The general public doesn't often see the work that we do.

Mr Gee attributed the victory to a positive campaign and three years of hard work.
"It has been a very humbling experience. The humbling support from the electorate has been overwhelming for me." he said.
"The general public doesn't often see the work that we do. We have tried to help as many people as we can."
Mr Gee said he had run a "positive campaign" during the poll.
"We stuck to our game plan," he said.
Mr Gee said voters had been concerned by local and national issues, but had also worried about the "uncosted policies of the opposition" right up to polling day.
"Even in Orange at two minutes to six they were still raising these issues," he said.
He paid tribute to Labor's Jess Jennings, who had contested his third campaign for the seat, calling him a warrior.
