Omeo Region - Help develop a tourism investment prospectus

We're working with Omeo region and surrounds, to capture the current and future tourism and hospitality business needs. This will help us create an investment prospectus for the community.

As the Omeo Mountain Bike Trail Circuit nears completion, this exciting project will help the towns and localities of Omeo, Swifts Creek, Benambra, Cobungra, Ensay, Tambo Crossing, Bindi, Tongio Gap and Cassilis.

How to get involved:

• We're encouraging businesses to complete a short survey, which will help us deliver an investment roadmap for the district.
• Register your interest here for future pop-up events (June 2025)

Feedback is open to 5 pm Friday 30 May 2025.

Project scope

The study will highlight any gaps in the current visitor economy offering, gauging the capacity of businesses across a variety of sectors including:

• Accommodation
• Food and hospitality
• Essential services (electricians, plumbers, builders)
• Retail
• Information services
• Diverse tourism offering (attractions, experiences)
• Other services as identified through the project

Then, we'll collaborate with the business community to create an Investment Prospectus, which will demonstrate the economic benefits of the Omeo Mountain Bike Trail, including:

• Key visitor economy and tourism focused investment opportunities
• Data analysis, business case studies and business operator testimonials
• Unique insights for the region - such as employment profile, trends, opportunities and challenges
