The problem:
Our tourism activities are disparate and poorly funded.
We don’t have a brand which encapsulates our entire region. We need a brand that aligns all our inland tourism activities together under one brand.
The result is we don’t have a home or a loud voice within Tourism WA. Quite rightly they don’t know where to put us.

Where the bloody hell are we?

Forgotten at the end of the paper. That’s where! (Page 39)

Without a region:
We are aligned to existing regions which aren’t a perfect fit and so our demands for funding and tourism development are unheard.
The Tourism WA “Experience Perth, Destination Development Strategy” lists our projects at the end of the plan - as secondary elements to support other tourism icons.

Are we limiting our reach?
A great initiative - but maybe limiting. How does it include Gingin, Bindoon, Wannamal, Mooliabeenee wineries?

Solution:
We create a new regional brand which together we all align behind and pitch to Tourism WA and Federal Government for financial and marketing support.
We provide Tourism WA with a regional tourism “day tripper” product north of perth for local and international tourism. (CHOGM?)

Proposed Brand:
Play on our greatest strengths - VALLEYS, VIEWS, HILLS, RIVERS, CREEKS, NATURE, LAKES, TRAILS, WETLANDS
Build on what consumers and government already know and understand:
Avon Valley
Swan Valley

Northern Valleys

Northern Valleys
“Come to the Northern Valleys for the day”
“Take a drive this weekend to the Northern Valleys”
Northern Valleys Wine Trail
“Day trip in the Northern Valleys to New Norcia”
“Sculptures in the Northern Valleys”

Benefits:Potential funding - State/Federal to create Northern Valleys Regional Tourism Board - fund and support. We all become members of the board.
Marketing support - Tourism material presents and promotes us as a region (not bolted on to Swan, Avon or coastal)
Marketing synergies - one voice greater cut through, greater spend efficiency.
Collateral synergies - one website, one brochure. Better, bigger and more effective.
Sub brands - survive and prosper under the umbrella brand.

Members: City of Swan, Shires; Chittering, Gingin, Victoria Plains
