Industry Action Group Guidelines

Industry Action Groups (IAGs) have been developed to provide a platform for the implementation of the Port Stephens Destination Management plan and associated strategies. IAGs are small teams of experienced, committed and motivated individuals who have come together to work on specific projects and strategies under the direction of Destination Port Stephens.

 

IAGs allow community and industry to feed up innovation and ideas instead of the traditional top-down approach adhering to the concept of shared value. Each IAG provides a platform to harness the passion of the community through a clear communication process that links all relevant stakeholders and seeks their engagement to ensure successful achievement of action items. The delivery of these action items aligns to the positive growth of visitation and the long-term sustainability of the Port Stephens Visitor Economy.
