Daylesford & Hepburn Springs
Business & Tourism Association
The role of the Daylesford & Hepburn Springs Business & Tourism Association is to provide strong, reliable leadership and advocacy on all matters relevant to businesses in Daylesford and Hepburn Springs.
The Daylesford & Hepburn Springs Business & Tourism Association was formerly known as the Daylesford & District Business Group (“DDBG”). In August 2010, members voted to change the name to the Daylesford & Hepburn Springs Business & Tourism Association to represent the interests of business owners in Daylesford & Hepburn Springs, and to be consistent with its function as the Local Tourism Association (“LTA”) representing Daylesford & Hepburn Springs within Tourism Hepburn.
The vision of the Daylesford & Hepburn Springs Business & Tourism Association is to represent the local business community by providing:
> advocacy and support;
> networking opportunities;
> a platform for members to build partnerships that enable them to grow their business; and
> support to address local issues at a local level.
