It’s a funny world we live in.

Decision makers want business and tourism to be the cornerstone of our local economy.

We used to run (in partnership):
- the Italian Festival

- The Wonthaggi Laneways Festival
- The Christmas Decorations Competition.
- Wonthaggi Make & Bake Market
- Business Networking Nights
- Light up Wonthaggi Competition

- Wonthaggi Streets Festival

Yet in just three weeks time, the WBTA may finally come to an end.
…Watch this space for wind-up details.

Will you put your hand up to help?

Bass Coast Shire Council lists the
BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY

🚗 The smart park technology provides data insights to make parking more efficient and to help identify service improvements in Cowes and Wonthaggi.

🚗 This project will test the impact of real time driver guidance and to minimise parking over-stays, giving fairer access to parking bays at high demand locations.

🚗 Smart Parking in Wonthaggi will collect parking usage data to help improve the parking service and make parking more efficient. It will also test the benefits of using an ‘app only’ approach to improving driver guidance and help save time to find a park.

🚗 Council will monitor the usage of Smart Parking over time and evaluate the benefits of providing real- time parking availability to drivers and assess the impact on travel times, congestion and resident and visitor experience in this busy precinct. It is not paid parking.
