What we do

The Great Western Tiers Tourism Association (GWTTA) is comprised of local business owners, community members and representatives from Council, Tourism Tasmania, the Tasmanian National Parks and Wildlife Service, and other tourism, hospitality and community stakeholders such as Arts Deloraine, and the Great Western Tiers Visitor Information Centre.

We work closely with peak tourism bodies and local and state decision makers to ensure that our region is best represented. We work towards accessing and leveraging marketing campaigns, funding and other opportunities for our members and our region. We also support and collaborate with local businesses and freelancers, whether they be in hospitality, tourism, agritourism, or any other sector.

Some of our recent projects include

  • A suite of professionally shot and edited videos showcasing kooparoona niara / Great Western Tiers as a short walks destination. This content is exclusively available to our members.

  • A Short Walks Capital map promoting members’ businesses and some of the best walks in the area.

  • Pollie in the Pub night, bringing prospective Meander Valley Council members together with GWTTA members and the local community to discuss the future of tourism and hospitality in the region.
