Economic Development & Tourism Strategy Survey
The Colac Otway Shire's Economic Development & Tourism department is conducting a survey to gather information from businesses to assist in the development of the Economic Development & Tourism Strategy 2018-2022.
It is very important that we are able to gather this feedback, because our local business people are best placed to identify gaps and opportunities in our current market.
