Tourism

If you operate a business in our region that caters to visitors, you can list it on Hepburn Shire's official tourism website – www.visithepburnshire.com.au – which provides travellers with inspiration for planning their stay.

An annual fee of $295 applies for businesses to sign up with ATDW and create a listing. Once your profile is set up and approved, you will automatically appear on our website.

Note: There is no cost to create an events profile on ATDW and list eligible events, which will then appear on the Visit Hepburn Shire website events calendar. You can find a simple guide to creating an ATDW events profile on the Visit Victoria website.

Hepburn Shire's Visitor Information Centres (VICs) are a fantastic resource for people to learn about the best things to see and do in our region. Council operates VICs in Daylesford, Trentham, Creswick, and Clunes, which are mainly staffed by volunteers.

Eligible businesses have the opportunity to stock their flyers or brochures in our VICs, and it's worth keeping our Visitor Services team up to date with your business details, service availability, changes to opening hours, and changes of ownership. This will ensure that our volunteers are providing visitors with the most up-to-date information. If you're holding an event that will be of interest to visitors, there is also the opportunity to be included in our weekly What's On eNewsletter.

For any enquiries, contact us on 1800 454 891 or email tourism@hepburn.vic.gov.au

Volunteering at one of our VICs is a great way to keep yourself up to date and connected with everything happening in the visitor economy. If you can spare three or four hours a week (or even once or twice a month), find out how to get involved here.

As a tourism business, we encourage you to:

Destination Central Victoria(formerly Daylesford Macedon Tourism) is the peak industry body for tourism in Hepburn Shire, the Macedon Ranges, Mount Alexander Shire, and the Central Goldfields.
