Project: Victor Harbor Marine Facilities Upgrade (2007)

Client: City of Victor Harbor

Collaborators: QED and Tonkin Consulting

Summary: This project was an investigation into the viability of increasing marine based tourism activity in Victor Harbor and the Fleurieu Peninsula region through the improvement of existing and/or development of new marine infrastructure. A cost benefit analysis was used to assess the range of infrastructure options. Benefits included tall ship utilisation, more and varied marine related events and an increase in visitor numbers and tourism expenditures.
