Tourism and Sustainable Economic Growth

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.
