"Driver Training 203" active on the mid north coast today (1/1/2012) at 12.45pm, assisting the local HWP cars with an MVA at Wauchope on the Oxley Highway. Got the impression the car was passing through on the Pacific Highway from south to north when the incident happened on the nearby road.

Yeah PDT203 has been quite active of late. Last I saw it was also outfitted with Mobile ANPR hence why it would be handy.

(Sedans) Traffic 202, 211,214, 219
(Cycles) Traffic 258, 264, 268

Might it have something to do with the creation of the Highway Patrol Command?

Don't think so .... from my previous monitoring over the last decade TRAFFIC is based out of Sydney and sends out additional traffic enforcement support to the regions during the peak periods like christmas. They may have been up here all the time but just that i didnt hear them.
