Tourism and Sustainable Economic Growth

Tourism and Sustainable Economic Growth Icon

Our region provides tourism opportunities to domestic and international visitors. It also fosters agricultural industries. 

Visitors to the region are expected to double to over 9 million per annum in the next decade.

To attract and keep both local and overseas workers, we need to invest in:

  • flagship precincts and projects
  • workforce skills
  • accommodation

This will drive sustainable economic growth and developing competitive tourism offerings.

Local industries on the urban fringe need certainty that government co-investments and grant opportunities will be available to them ongoing. This is so they can develop a pipeline of impactful projects and infrastructure.
