Mornington Peninsula Shire is inviting community input to help refine the outdoor dining program it ran in 2021-22 to support businesses as they recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. In a media release today, the Shire said the program’s purpose was to increase activity in shopping and dining precincts, increase the economy and boost recovery on the Peninsula.
“The feedback from traders and the community was overall very positive, while some expressed concern about the impact of the program on their businesses,” it said. “This year, the Shire is refining the program to support all traders to succeed and create vibrant, inspiring activity centres for our community and visitors to enjoy. We are talking to traders and would also like to understand community views as well.”
