about us our team This Destination Management Plan has been prepared by Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism. Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism (GORRT) was established in 2013 as a Regional Tourism Board by the five local government areas that cover the Great Ocean Road tourism region Surf Coast, Colac Otway, Corangamite, Moyne and Warrnambool. The partnership provides a framework for partnering with industry, community, State and Federal Government and Government agencies to deliver a collaborative regional approach to growing a sustainable and vibrant visitor economy. In January 2023, GORRT was formally recognised by the State Government as a Visitor Economy Partnership (VEP). As a Visitor Economy Partnership, we are formally recognised by Government as the peak body on the Visitor Economy of the Great Ocean Road region and in partnership with the network of RTB’s and VEP’s the visitor economy voice for the State. GORRT is a Company Limited by Guarantee. GORRT is overseen by a Board of Directors that includes a Director appointed by each of the Local Government partners, five skilled based representatives and at least 2 independent Directors that are appointed as Chair and Deputy Chair. The Board meets bi-monthly. The GORRT team work in active partnership with the tourism, economic development, events and visitor servicing teams of our local Government partners. our board Andrew Jeffers CHAIR John Maher DEPUTY CHAIR Clive Goldsworthy INDEPENDENT Damien Cerantonio GREAT OCEAN ROAD PROPERTIES Dean Newell RACV TORQUAY Shenay Barua RACV Sam Lucas WARRNAMBOOL BUS LINES Mirerva Holmes DJSIR Observer Robyn Seymour SURF COAST SHIRE Ian Seuren COLAC OTWAY SHIRE Laurie Hickey CORANGAMITE SHIRE Deb Arnott WARRNAMBOOL CITY Jodie McNamara MOYNE SHIRE INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER Jo Birley GENERAL MANAGER Liz Price DIGITAL CHAMPION Nina Barlow INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT COORIDINATOR Lyn Moore
