WEST COAST
Destination Action Plan 2016–2020
1 June 2016
Acknowledgments The development of the West Coast Destination Action Plan has been facilitated by the Cradle Coast Authority in partnership with the Department of State Growth. The process brought together representatives from all stakeholder groups that benefit from the visitor economy; local government, state government agencies, industry and the community to develop a plan. This Plan seeks to identify the challenges and opportunities facing the West Coast and to establish achievable affordable priorities that if delivered would increase the West Coast competitiveness.

Introduction The Cradle Coast Authority in partnership with the Department of State Growth is completing a series of Destination Action Plans for a number of Tasmanian destinations including Tasmania’s West Coast. The Destination Action Plans are an implementation initiative of the Tasmanian Visitor Economy Strategy 2015-2020 (T21) Priority 4: ‘Building capability, capacity and community’. This Plan will provide an implementation tool for tourism related strategies emerging from the West Coast Community Plan 2025. A core strategy is to recognise that visitors to the Cradle Coast Region are primarily attracted to destinations and experiences. Therefore the development, marketing and management of the regions destinations, i.e. West Coast, are pivotal to the success of the whole region. This Destination Action Plan for the West Coast identifies priority strategies and actions which if implemented over three years will enhance the competitiveness of the West Coast as a primary visitor destination of the region.
The Plan has been prepared by a facilitated workshop process involving business and community representatives who considered and reached consensus on tourism development, marketing and management opportunities and challenges. The group then identified and agreed on the key priorities and actions that would make a positive difference to the growth and sustainability of the West Coast visitor economy and experience. A key principle of Destination Action Planning is to give primary consideration to the fact that visitors are attracted to destinations and experiences, which are delivered by the community and industry. The delivery of the visitor experience is collaboratively supported and facilitated by community, business and government organisations.

The visitor economy The West Coast of Tasmania is the part of Tasmania that is strongly associated with wilderness, mining and tourism, rough country and isolation. As well as that, it was an early convict settlement location in the early stages of Van Diemen’s Land.
Objectives The common objectives for tourism are: 1. To increase visitor numbers 2. To increase visitor length of stay 3. To increase visitor expenditure
The West Coast is the fifth most tourism reliant regional economy in Australia behind Central Northern Territory, Philip Island, Whitsundays and the Snowy Mountains (Tourism Research Australia).
4. To increase visitor dispersal (geographically and seasonally)
Tourism on the West Coast has seen a dramatic drop in visitation from 2003–2013, but has enjoyed a turnaround in this data over the past two years.
5. To increase visitor satisfaction.
There has been limited private investment in to the West Coast Tourism product over the past ten years, investment limited to cruises on the Gordon River, tours out of Queenstown and accommodation purchases or upgrades. There is a need and opportunity to reinvigorate a cooperative relationship of mutual support and collaboration between the industry, community and West Coast Council. This Destination Action Plan provides the opportunity to facilitate a strong partnership to develop, market and manage the visitor economy of the West Coast. Recent studies completed for the West Coast include: §§ West Coast Community Plan 2025 §§ Reimaging the Visitor Experiences of Tasmania’s Wilderness World Heritage Areas §§ The Cradle Mountain Master Plan. The region continues to be impacted, both positively and negatively by the volatility in the Mining sector.

Action Plan implementation The following Action Plan outlines priorities and actions as a guide for Stakeholders to collaboratively and cooperatively implement the Plan. To facilitate this, an Implementation Leadership Group of representatives will be formed. While the Plan identifies primary organisational responsibilities and in many cases joint responsibility, it is reasonable to expect that the Implementation Leadership Group will consider and review this progressively. One key consideration will be the availability and securing of resources to progress the implementation of the Plan in a timely manner. It may also be appropriate and necessary to involve other organisations and to seek funding for specific projects. The Plan does not commit any organisation to the actions proposed but is a guide to pursuing priorities and actions which will make a positive difference to the achievement of the tourism objectives noted above. The priority actions have been assigned a KPI priority rating as a guide. These ratings are: HIGH
within the first year
MEDIUM within one to two years LOW
within three years
Progress of implementation of the Plan will be reviewed annually by the Cradle Coast Authority in consultation with the Implementation Leadership Group. This may result in a revision and updating of the Plan. Regardless, a new plan will be prepared in three years. The following organisations will be invited to consider and progressively work together to implement the priority actions. This will include nominating representatives to form the core of an Implementation Steering Group. Interested individual industry and community representatives will be encouraged to also participate in the Implementation Leadership Group or for specific projects. §§ West Coast Council §§ West Coast Visitor Centre
§§ Parks and Wildlife Services §§ Department of State Growth
§§ Western Wilderness Tourism Association
§§ Land Management Agencies
§§ Cradle Coast Authority
§§ Government Business Agencies
§§ Tasmanian Government and Departments (engaged as required)
§§ Economic Development Advisory Committee.
§§ Commonwealth Government (engaged as required)
