“The aim of the program is to get them back on track with the business tools to withstand crises in future.”
The Mayor added that the overwhelming response to the program had been very positive to date.
“The response to the initial pilot program has been so encouraging that we are excited to announce that Council’s program will now to roll out further, which means 30 tourism businesses will have the opportunity to participate,” he said.

The Mayor visited them recently to talk about about the significant impact that the bushfires and COVID-19 have had on their business in the last six months and how the mentoring program will assist them.
