Far West Tourism Development Action Plan 2014-16
This action plan was developed with the support and assistance of the Queensland Government to better highlight opportunities for tourism growth in the far western part of the RAPAD region.
Opportunities to align new tourism development with existing regional tourism priorities were identified.
The majority of this project work focused on the Far West regions with some ongoing trade distribution work for Central West supporting the work initiated in the CWOQTA Tourism Development Action Plan. The primary goal for the project and subsequent actions is to ensure repeat visitation, attract new markets and extend length of stay through continual development and promotion of the drive and touring experience.
Funds were used to undertake phone and on site consultations with representatives of Boulia, Barcoo and Diamantina Shires
The seven councils of Central Western Queensland have released an Australian-first benefits agreement; creating a unique framework for how their local communities will benefit from the proposed RAPAD Power Grid and other energy developments.
