South Coast Centre of Excellence

The South Coast Centre of Excellence was an industry project funded through the Bushfire Local Economy Recovery Fund secured by Destination Sydney Surrounds South in collaboration with Destination Southern.
The Centre of Excellence has delivered 51 events and activities across the Shoalhaven, Eurobodalla and Bega Valley local government areas since June 2022 that have been well attended by industry. With the funding fully allocated, the program will be winding up on 31 March 2024.
We are now looking for feedback from the industry on whether the program addressed the challenges that were identified in the first survey in June 2022 and what it has meant for your business, members of your team and you personally to have had the opportunity to participate in the various fully funded programs that were designed to support the industry across the three regions.

Your feedback is extremely valuable and we would appreciate it if you could take some time to complete the survey as it would provide insightful industry information that would support a business case should other funding grants become available.

Thank you for your contribution.
