The Next Steps

Council administration has gathered and reviewed in detail the findings, including the audio

work was required to craft the findings into a more formative strategic structure.

While preparing the draft structure of the Economic Development Strategy the administration

has reviewed the foundation elements from a number of national economic development

strategies, to understand what good looks like. While crafting the wording consideration was

given to the style of the Council’s current Community Plan, per the Council resolution.

As a continuation of the committee engagement process a copy of the draft documents have

been circulated to members to ensure that it is an accurate representation of contributions

made during the workshop. Committee members are invited to provide feedback on the

draft principles, the vision, the objectives and the strategies prior to formal consideration.

Through the Economic Development Strategy Framework the Council approved a staged

approach to the preparation of the Economic Development Strategy. The approach includes

the following phases :

Phase 1

Undertake a review of existing economic development plans, strategies and

projects endorsed by the Council

Harbor and State Government representatives on key challenges and

opportunities that exist in Victor Harbor impacting on local economic

EDS.

Committee in June 2018 to contribute toward the development of the vision,

objectives and strategies of the EDS, reflecting the aspirations of the

Community Plan.

Phase 2

- Prepare a discussion paper introducing the concept of the EDS and as a

basis for community feedback

- Through the discussion paper, introduce the preliminary objectives and vision

statement, outline the strengths & weaknesses facing the Victor Harbor

economy, a series of key datasets and the role of the Council in fostering a

vibrant economy

Phase 3

the discussion paper.

Tourism Committee for ratification and implementation
