To: 'Lisa Velardo' Cc: 'Swinson, Kim' Subject: TRIM: RE: City of Melbourne draft Tourism Action Plan - for your comments

Dear Lisa

Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on the City of Melbourne’s draft Tourism Action Plan 2015-18

and for the extension – and my apologies for the delay in responding.

I am pleased to be able to make comment on behalf of the Inner Melbourne Action Plan (IMAP) Tourism Working

Group. The Group wishes to congratulate the City of Melbourne on this initiative and reinforces the importance

that such a document has for a capital city council. As the tourism gateway for inner Melbourne and regional

Victoria this is an important document for the entire State.

We acknowledges the significant investment that the City of Melbourne has already made, and continues to make

to encouraging tourism in the city and the profound impact that it has had on Melbourne’s profile, both locally and

internationally.

Structuring the Plan around the five key stages in the visitor information journey: journey planning, travel to the

destination, arrival, experiences during the stay, and departure and reflection, provides a comprehensive framework

for supporting and fostering tourism development and investment in Melbourne.

We wholly endorse the proposed principles, goals, outcomes and actions, and agree that that each project within

the Plan has clear objectives, roles and responsibilities. Specifically, we raise the following considerations:

• It is noticeable that the plan does not discuss the environment for providing and developing tourism

opportunities in terms of the key stakeholders. It may be useful to nominate the roles and responsibilities

of the State and National stakeholders and Destination Melbourne plus any others, including the key

objectives that they are working to. This will help to contextualise the role of the City of Melbourne.

• Further to the above point, the Tourism Working Group sees an opportunity for the plan to acknowledge

the Inner Melbourne Action Plan (IMAP) as an entity and separate to that, the neighbouring councils that

make up the inner Melbourne area. As representatives of the councils neighbouring the City of Melbourne,

we identify a number of strategies that could benefit from collaboration and also recognise that visitors to

Melbourne often straddle council boundaries enjoying the experiences that are offered in our

municipalities.

2

• It seems appropriate that the plan might pick-up the key objectives of the IMAP Tourism Working Group and

also the current priority actions that the Group is working on, given that these incorporate resourcing of the

City of Melbourne. To this end I have attached the Action Plan for 2015/16 newly adopted by the IMAP

Executive Committee; one of the key projects is to develop a digital presence for the inner Melbourne

councils.

• Other key projects that IMAP has been involved in that have relevance to the draft Tourism Action Plan are;

developing an integrated way-finding system and the development of a connected open space system

including cycling trails. These infrastructure related projects have relevance to Strategy 13 of the draft plan.

There are other elements related to the public realm and physical infrastructure that could be picked up in

this strategy. While not central to tourism, they have relevance to creating an environment that will

contribute to a visitors experience and may result in longer stay, feelings of safety etc that have a direct

relationship to encouraging tourism. These include ensuring the availability and accessibility of public toilets

that are safe to use, provision of public transport and taxi services, and even liquor control policy that

enables the development of a prosperous and safe night time economy.

• In discussing the ‘In destination’ elements of Melbourne, it may be worth adding elements of safety,

accessibility and friendliness to the attributes that are already included in the plan (such as walkability,

liveability).

• The plan identifies the trend in experiential marketing and demand for the ‘real’ user experience. This is

seen as a growing method of promotion and will help to position Melbourne at the forefront of information

searching by the largest market sectors.

• We support recognition of the Asian market given its strong growth and out-performance of other key

target markets.

• It is noted that famils are not included in the actions and this could be an avenue to help the City of

Melbourne ensure it is appropriately networked and has the opportunity to showcase key attributes and

features to influential market drivers.

Again I thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this important discussion and congratulation to all those

involved on the work undertaken to date.

Kind regards

To: Melissa Rathje Subject: City of Melbourne draft Tourism Action Plan - for your comments

Dear Melissa, As the Chairperson of the IMAP Tourism Working Group, it is my great pleasure to provide you with a copy of the draft City of Melbourne Tourism Action Plan 2015-2018 (attached) and to invite you to provide written feedback. In July, Council’s Future Melbourne Committee approved release of the draft plan for targeted industry consultation. The draft will be available for comment until mid-September.

3

We are hoping you can review the draft plan and provide feedback on the proposed goals, outcomes and actions. We’d also like your advice on other issues and opportunities you believe the City of Melbourne’s Tourism Action Plan could incorporate. The following information might help when reviewing this draft:

• The City of Melbourne Tourism Action Plan: 2015-2018 will be a plan for the organisation. The Plan will set out Council’s aspiration for visitors, the visitor economy and the destination, as well as its roles and responsibilities in the industry.

• The current draft reflects issues and opportunities raised during our internal consultation. • Much of what is proposed in the draft plan will require collaboration between the City of Melbourne

and industry partners. • For this reason, throughout August and September we will be consulting with key industry, transport

and business groups. We will be seeking written feedback on the current draft to assist in the development of the final version of the Plan.

• Feedback and comments on the draft are due by Friday 18 September. • Following completion of the consultation, the final version of the Plan will be submitted to Council’s

Future Melbourne Committee in mid-November for their endorsement. (The Future Melbourne Committee consists of the Lord Mayor, Robert Doyle, Deputy Lord Mayor, Susan Riley; and all City of Melbourne Councillors).

In light of the State Government’s announcements last week regarding organisational change and Brand Victoria, we will also be reviewing some of the proposed actions in the current draft to best reflect these changes of direction. If you would like to submit comments on the draft, please email them to me by 18 September ([email protected]). If you would like any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hello Team,

I am writing to let you know that the Linkage application is compiled, completed and submitted to the University

Research, Innovation, and Commercialisation (RIC) office, which is responsible for final submission. The University has a

deadline of COB today to make the final submission to the ARC. In short, it is now out of my hands and in the capable

hands of the University, where it will be well looked after. We have already undergone multiple compliance and content

checks at various levels, and I am assured that both my faculty Research Office and RIC that the project has an great

chance of being funded. I have just spoken to RIC, and they will submit the application shortly.

Thanks to everyone for your hard work. This was a wonderful team effort and, to me, illustrates our capacity to come

together as a group and our collective commitment to this inquiry. I expect us to produce fantastic work together.

I attach the completed application for your records.

I am now going to get back to work on our core activities. My next step is to compile the final Phase 1 report with the

research findings. My next email to you will be later in December will be to update you on this report. Sometime after

that, I hope I’ll be writing with good news about the Linkage application. We don’t expect to know anything until a couple

of months into next year. I will be seeing most of you well before that as we begin to plan our next wave of activity.

Until then, all the very best,

Jennie

Dear Ms McElroy

RE: 'Climate Change: A Risk Assessment'

I am writing to you on the need to advocate to all State and Federal Governments to developand vigorously pursue integrated policy frameworks aiming for serious reduction of carbonemissions globally to try to avoid or reduce the risks of Climate Change.

The recent report from the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office "Climate Change: A RiskAssessment" says the risks of climate change should be assessed in the same way as risks tonational security or public health. Anticipated intolerable thresholds include heat stress, cropfailure, coastal cities' inability to adapt to rising sea levels, necessary mass migration and failedstates.

The City of Port Phillip recognises the importance of the United Nations Climate ChangeConference to be held in Paris in December 2015, as its outcomes will affect the quality of life ofall young and future generations. Australia could contribute to creating a healthier, safer futureby reducing carbon emissions.

The City of Port Phillip supports aspirations for a global commitment to reduce carbonemissions in proportion to the degree of risk outlined in the aforementioned report. We supportaction starting in the nearest possible timeframe, as mitigation is a necessary andcomplementary strategy to adaptive works carried out at public expense on behalf of this andfuture generations.

I encourage you read the report and consider its recommendations, which can be found at:http://www.csap.cam.ac.uk/proiects/climate−chanoe−risk−assessmentJ
