CEO Evan King says staff are being consulted and the unions informed.

“This isn’t about job losses, this is purely about aligning a group of services, that make a hell of a lot of sense, being in a directorate together,” Mr. King said.

Speaking to Radio Ballarat today, Ballarat Regional Tourism Chairman Paul Martino has backed the move saying it’s exciting from a tourism and events perspective.
