The Shoalhaven Tourism Advisory Group plays an important role in the development of tourism related strategic plans and activities and provides critical input through industry representatives in this process.
Roles were advertised via the Council website and Facebook to industry members or interested community members. This occurs on an annual basis when the two (2) year term of STAG members comes to an end. Existing STAG members can either retire or reapply through the application and interview process and are considered alongside other new potential recruits.
