GREATER SYDNEY VISITOR ECONOMY GROUPS TURBOCHARGE GROWTH

Destination NSW has established four Visitor Economy Greater Sydney Local Councils Groups to ensure a whole-of-government approach to the region's visitor economy.

Destination NSW Manager Local Government Visitor Economy Policy Bianca Gilmore said: "Local government plays a core role in NSW communities and councils have strong partnerships with industry and stakeholders. It is wonderful to see the Greater Sydney local councils come together and collaborate to advance the value of the visitor economy not only in their local government area but as a region."

The four groups are:

• Western City Parklands – Blue Mountains, Camden, Campbelltown, Fairfield, Hawkesbury, Liverpool, Penrith and Wollondilly
• Central River City – Blacktown, Canterbury-Bankstown, Cumberland, Georges River, City of Parramatta and The Hills Shire
• Eastern Harbour City (North District) - Hornsby, Hunter’s Hill, Ku-ring-gai, Lane Cove, Mosman, North Sydney, Northern Beaches, City of Ryde and City of Willoughby
• Eastern Harbour City (South District) - Bayside, Burwood, Canada Bay, Inner West, City of Randwick, Strathfield, Sutherland Shire, City of Sydney, Waverley and Woollhara.

Group meetings have already been held in Western Parklands City, Central River City and Eastern Harbour City (North District), while the first meeting for Eastern Harbour City (East City) is in development.

Blue Mountains Council Program Leader Visitor Economy Simone Novello said: “The Western Parkland City group facilitated by Destination NSW offers an invaluable opportunity to learn from and collaborate with diverse local government areas in a way that helps us amplify results and build a thriving visitor economy across the Western Sydney region.”
