The Working Group appointed an independent consultant, Peter Backshall of MarkeTrade, to provide a business and marketing plan for the Shark Bay World Heritage Discovery Centre that presented a detailed financial and operational assessment of the Centre, evaluated existing and potential new activities of the Centre, and identified measurable achievements and a process for review. Funding for the consultancy was provided by the Department of Local Government and Regional Development, the Gascoyne Development Commission and the Shire of Shark Bay.
