12. We’re focussed on the future……
In line with the general picture across regional Victoria, visitation to the
Daylesford & Macedon Ranges region has seen little growth over the last
5 years, and some areas within the region have seen a decline in
visitation.
The Daylesford & Macedon Ranges Region is experiencing significant
competition from other Victorian regions (in particular Mornington
Peninsula) and interstate destinations.
DMR RTB’s strategic response to these challenges is to work with the
region’s tourism industry to develop products and services that capitalise
on the key strengths, giving more people more reasons to visit the
region.
13. A clear path forward……
A new 3 Year Strategic Plan has
been completed for the period
2014/15 to 2017/18.
Key goals:

the future.
Specifically, it will determine the projects and priorities that will
enable the region to realise its full tourism potential. Its goal we be
to attract inward investment into the region (public and private).
DMR will develop the region’s Destination Management Plan, with
the assistance of external consultants, through a comprehensive
process of research, analysis and consultation. It is anticipated that
the first stage of this work will be completed by late 2014.

($60k) to kickstart this work, and we will now pursue Local
Government to make a financial contribution to ensure a high
degree of region-wide engagement.
