Growing our local and visitor economy

Where are your favourite places in Bayside to bring visitors? What motivates you to shop local? We’re looking for ideas to shape a new five-year Economic Development, Tourism and Placemaking Strategy (EDTPS).

We want to know where Baysiders love to shop, dine, visit and gather so we can develop better business, tourism and placemaking initiatives and programs.

Attracting visitors to Bayside’s businesses and stunning natural and urban locations creates the right conditions for thriving local economy.

Your feedback, along with intel from our business community, will help us to uncover new ideas, identify gaps in our services, and target areas for improvement and growth.

As well as community needs and aspirations, this Strategy will be informed by data and trends and aligned with our Council Plan 2021-25, Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan, and Bayside 2050 Community Vision.

Join the conversation before consultation closes on 10 May 2023. Have your say.
