Australia’s Highway No. 1 runs right through our region. The Princes Highway links Sydney and Melbourne, and when added to the excellent range of utilities offered linking us to wider Australia and the rest of the world, East Gippslanders have every chance to enjoy a high quality of life.
An extensive road network covers our region from Bairnsdale to NSW. The Princes Highway offers a coastal route to Sydney, with a detour to Canberra and the ACT available from Cann River via the Monaro Highway providing a more direct route to Sydney markets. Using the excellent road network, transport and freight providers undertake daily services to and from our region. Train services to Bairnsdale from Melbourne are linked to coach services so that rail travellers can reach many other destinations within East Gippsland. The rail service is utilised for freight also.
Air transport is limited at this time. Airstrips are primarily used for tourism, private charters and some commuter flights, and the Port of Lakes Entrance is utilised predominantly by the commercial fishing fleet and recreational vessels looking for safe harbour or accessing the Gippsland Lakes. From high speed broadband internet connections to natural gas, from electricity supply to telephone, our region offers these services to residents. With such a vast area to cover some utilities are not available in certain outlying localities, but alternative resources are always available.
Recently appointed chief executive officer of Destination Gippsland Limited, Terry Robinson recently visited East Gippsland to have his first official look around the region.
Mr Robinson said the visit had been most useful to discuss tourism issues with industry, local government and land managers.
“It was also a delight to experience some of the East Gippsland’s wonderful tourism assets.” He said.
During his visit Mr Robinson met with represen tatives of East Gippsland Shire, Parks Victoria, Department of Sustainability and Environment and members of East Gippsland Regional Business and Tourism Association.
Shire director corporate and economic development John Websdale said the Shire was pleased with Mr Robinson’s appointment to Destination Gippsland Limited and looked forward to working closely with him over the next three years.
“He brings high level skills in tourism, particularly from his former role as Operations Manger with Phillip Island Nature Park as well as his current membership of the Board of Tourism Alliance Victoria,” he said.
Chair of East Gippsland Regional Business and Tourism Association and East Gippsland Shire Tourism Advisory Board and member of the East Gippsland Marketing Board, Adrian Bromage also welcomed the visit.
“We are confident Mr Robinson will be impressed with the quality of tourism destinations and products in East Gippsland and the commitment of operators not only for tourism in our own region but also across Gippsland as a whole,” he said.
“The industry is looking forward to a close association with Destination Gippsland to maximise tourism outcomes.”
