BIAV Roadshow © Boating Industry Association of Victoria

The BIAV roadshow is well under way and proving to be a great hit with members. Response and engagement levels have been very high, with great feedback provided at each of the sessions.

Those following on Facebook will know that members have been visited right through Gippsland to Mallacoota, deep into South Gippsland including Alberton, as well as through central Victoria to Echuca.

Industry members have been very keen to hear what BIAV is up to, how they are being represented, what's happening in the advocacy space, what the future of boat shows might be, and very importantly, what can be done to help address the current skills and resource issues. To that end, the proposed Boating Careers platform and plan is gathering outstanding feedback and traction. Participants have been delighted to complete the 10-minute member survey that is offered, furnishing BIAV with their individual input, that will be part of the collective input for future planning.

The Roadshow will continue through late July and right through August into other parts of regional Victoria and metro Melbourne. Please look out for a session near you or sing out if you'd like to book in a visit. Please email Steve Walker CEO at
