Tender Details
Tender Description
Overview
Mansfield Shire Council is calling for expressions of interest from people across the shire's tourism and business sector to join a new Tourism Reference Group. The group will bring together individuals from a range of backgrounds to give Council independent and informed advice on tourism-related strategies, policy and initiatives, acting in an advisory capacity to help Council make well-informed decisions on tourism matters affecting the whole shire.
Purpose
Mayor Cr Steve Rabie said getting local voices around the table was key to getting tourism right for Mansfield Shire.
"Our tourism industry is such a big part of what makes this shire tick and the people working and earning their living in tourism every day know it better than anyone," Cr Rabie said.
"If we are going to successfully plan for the future in a way that actually works for our tourism operators, we need to hear from the people on the ground. We need the local knowledge that's sitting within our community. This is a great chance for locals to have a real say in shaping where tourism in our shire goes next."
