On the tourism front, it is all about value-adding to the raft of experiences already on offer in the Mount Gambier district and also to ensure our iconic free, nature-based attractions can be supplemented with experiences that provide some economic injection into the local industry.<\/p>\n<p>And you know the MP means business, having employed a dedicated staff member for two days a week to focus on those two target areas with Ilana Adam starting in the specialised role last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is clear the community needs a hospice \u2013 a purpose built facility for end of life for those people who don\u2019t want to die in hospital and don\u2019t want to die at home,\u201d Mr Bell said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is combining a clinical setting with nurses and health practitioners and the feel of home with family access. I will be going to the State Government for support in its establishment.<\/p>\n<p>It will need private investment as well.\u201d Investment will also be the key word when it comes to Mr Bell\u2019s tourism vision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is great that the town is bustling with people but we have to give them every opportunity to deposit more money into our community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of our attractions are free and that\u2019s great and we don\u2019t want to go away from that but we need to value-add to with paid experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And the Member for Mount Gambier has already started conversations with the State Government regarding his vision for an even more vibrant Mount Gambier tourism sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am starting to talk to the State Government about freeing up parts of the Blue Lake like the grassed areas at the Pumping Station,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>As he looks for inspiration to expanding the experiences on offer in Mount Gambier, Warrnambool\u2019s Lake Pertobe is one of the locations he references and a quick glance of social media comments on the City of Mount Gambier facebook page shows the popular Warrnambool location is front of mind for many local residents.<\/p>\n<p>It is an example of an experience with a free element that has the add-on value of hospitality and other paid experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Bell said Umpherston Sinkhole was a good case study as a popular free destination that has had cars lined up outside the allocated car park and vehicles on both sides of the road this summer holiday season that could perhaps develop a paid experience as an economic driver.<\/p>\n<p>Developing a five-star resort is also part of Mr Bell\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEspecially for international visits,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of those international tourists will pay upwards of $1000 a night if it\u2019s an iconic location.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And as with looking to expand any sector in the community, keeping one eye on infrastructure and development in that area is also critical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings like the path around the Blue Lake is too narrow and we need to look into what would it take to widen it and what role the State Government could play in that development,\u201d Mr Bell said.<\/p>\n<p>And while summer visitation is impressive, working on attracting a visitor economy in the traditionally quieter winter months was also a key.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to be looking at possible winter festivals and other events to draw people here in those months,\u201d Mr Bell said.<\/p>\n<p>He did concede one of the more complicated issues that is related to the development of the tourism sector was staffing and the cost to business owners of penalty rates, admitting there were no easy answers to keeping the town open for business and not sending business owners to the wall.<\/p>\n<p>The Member for Mount Gambier did start the New Year with the good news that the State Government was installing the first major increase in the Patient Assistance Transport Scheme (PATS) in more than two decades \u2013 an issue Mr Bell has spearheaded since 2019 when he first held a community forum to ascertain the issues with the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>The doubling of the fuel subsidy has been widely welcomed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palliative care &#038; tourism on Troy Bell\u2019s 2023 hit list When it comes to rolling up his sleeves for the Mount Gambier community, Troy Bell has two key targets on his 2023 to-do list.
