Warrnambool residents will have free entry to Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village under a new program designed to foster stronger engagement with the local community.
“Through the Flagstaff Hill Ambassador Program we’ll strengthen the connection between Flagstaff Hill and local residents and build a sense of ownership and pride,” Warrnambool Mayor Cr Ben Blain said.
“The ambassador program encourages local people to be advocates for Flagstaff Hill.
“Our ambassadors can visit any time and if they have friends or relatives who have paid for tickets to Flaggy the ambassadors can accompany them for free.
“We know the “friends and relatives” category in our visitor economy accounts for a third of Warrnambool’s domestic visitors so the ambassador program creates a great opportunity to enjoy a shared experience.
“A visit to Flagstaff Hill remains highly regarded by visitors and we consistently see very positive reviews on platforms including Trip Advisor and Google Reviews.
“The ambassador program means Flagstaff Hill can be a great meeting place for social clubs, parent groups. The entry is free for locals but if people would like to make use of the tearooms or have other catering requirements give the Flagstaff Hill team a call and they’ll help with any necessary arrangements.
“To get involved, go to flagstaffhill.com where we have the terms and conditions along with an easy online process to register to become an ambassador.”
The program will use post codes to identify locals and the application requires a driver’s licence or other suitable identification accompanied by a utility bill.
Local post codes included are: Warrnambool, 3280; Bushfield, 3281; Dennington, 3280; Allansford, 3277; Illowa, 3282; Woodford, 3281 and Yangery, 3283.
