Mornington Peninsula Shire is home to a vibrant business community and many popular tourist attractions. As our Shire grows, we need to plan to make sure our businesses are thriving, and future development is sustainable.
As we are preparing to draft our new Economic Development and Tourism Strategy, we would like your feedback on:
- Mornington Peninsula’s strengths and challenges.
- What is needed to support the Mornington Peninsula’s economic prosperity.
- What industries/activities the Shire should prioritise.
Through community consultation, we will identify priorities and projects that will support a strong economy. The Strategy will guide the Shire’s work in:
- Harnessing Mornington Peninsula’s competitive advantage to create jobs, build skills and growth.
- Supporting existing industries and potentially attract new industries to the Peninsula.
- Identifying green industries to support Council’s commitment to tackling climate change.
- Providing access to high quality education and training locally.
- Keeping residents living and working on the Peninsula.
- Reducing barriers for business investment and growth.
The consultation is open until 26 May.
