Mayor Debbie Arnott said the community was encouraged to share their thoughts and help guide a master plan and business case for the coastal attraction.

"Flagstaff Hill is a much loved place for many people and it's a significant part of our visitor economy," she said.

"It contains important historic attributes such as the garrison and lighthouses. It also contains the visitor information centre, some accommodation, a restaurant, the sound and light show, the maritime museum, a gift shop and of course the recreated coastal village depicting life in the 1870s.

"The master plan and business case will examine the location as a whole and identify strategic and innovative ways that will help maximise its potential.

"It's a look at the whole site, not simply the village."
