Mr Perrottet said as state leader he would focus predominately on infrastructure, which was considered Ms Berejiklian's legacy, and working families.
"Up until now, all of our Liberal premiers have been infrastructure premiers ... and that will not change with me, but I will also be a family premier, focusing on how we can make life better for working families, living the Liberal values of opportunity, aspiration and hard work."
Mr Perrottet, who is a devout Catholic father of six, has always been open about how his faith shapes his politics and opposed the decriminalisation of abortion in NSW as well as same-sex marriage.
But he asked people not to judge him for his religious beliefs.
"People should judge people on who they are and what they say ... I am very proud of the fact that I have a strong Christian faith. Does that in any way take away my capacity to serve as Premier? Well, I do not think so, and I think it is a sad thing that some people do."
Mr Perrottet is opposed to voluntary assisted dying but said he would support a conscience vote on the issue when a bill is put forward in Parliament later this month.

Later this year a new cabinet will be put together by Mr Perrottet after the high-profile resignations of Deputy Premier and Nationals leader John Barilaro .. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-04/political-legacy-of-nsw-deputy-premier-john-barilaro/100511676 .. and Transport Minister Andrew Constance .. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-03/nsw-transport-minister-andrew-constance-quits-state-politics/100510476 .. over the past two days.
He will face an early test as Premier when by-elections are held in Mr Barilaro's electorate of Monaro, Mr Constance's seat of Bega and Ms Berejiklian's seat of Willoughby.
