Gnomes to lose out?
![Gnomesville in the Ferguson Valley.](https://images.thewest.com.au/publication/B881285005Z/1565337126504_GDU2BQHD5.2-1.jpg?imwidth=810&impolicy=wan_v3)
A Dardanup shire councillor will ask the council to transfer $25,000 from its Gnomesville masterplan to the Ferguson Valley Marketing Mobile Visitor Centre initiative.
Cr Peter Robinson will next week put forward a motion on notice asking for the budget allocation.
In his request to the council, Cr Robinson says the council could reduce the $100,000 it has allocated to the masterplan and put $25,000 towards the visitor centre project.
While a business plan outlining the project is still confidential, Cr Robinson said it was an initiative that seeks to “take tourism in our valleys to the next level”.
“An allocation of $25,000 towards the MVC would not appear to be inconsistent with our support of this very important industry,” he said.
