About the event

Keynote:

Damien Blackwell, Tourism Development Officer, West Tamar Council, will explore the role of Local Government in a modern and changing tourism industry.

As councils continue to invest in tourism, it is a good time to understand why they do it, how to do it well and what all the other tourism organisations should be doing to help.

Damien's career in tourism and hospitality has spanned the private and public sector, with a focus on the the use of IT to drive productivity. During his 8 years at West Tamar Council he has helped many tourism operators to grow their businesses and make their region a memorable and welcoming place for visitors.

Roundtable:

This is a chance to learn from other councils, make connections and get ideas to make economic development work in your area.

Also:

Update on the state and national activities from Economic Development Australia

The Local Government Economic Development Network is an emerging initiative that is working to build a community of economic development practitioners.  At the end of 2019 there were 64 people in the network, each with different roles in their organisations, each at different stages of their careers but all united by their need to deliver economic development outcomes for their community.
