Bass Coast Shire Council provides support for many events throughout the year. Most events are held in the peak visitor season to take advantage of the significant number of visitors to the region.

The Social and Economic Value of Events report (PDF 777kb) details expenditure on events by Council and examines the social and economic benefits of these events to the community and local economy.

Council is currently reviewing its events policy and this report provides valuable information to help us with this work.

We are asking event organisers and community members to complete the Events Evaluation Survey as part of this review.

The report was undertaken by consulting firm, Urban Enterprise, and was partially funded by Regional Development Victoria.

For more information please contact our Economic Development Manager, Peter Francis, on 1300 BCOAST (226 278).
