Yes there are different views and some people stick to their plans no matter what:
http://www.tourism.vic.gov.au/images/stories/Regional%20Tourism%20Action%20Plan%202009-2012%20FINAL.pdf

"Tourism Victoria will work with State Government agencies, the Regional Tourism Board, Local
Government, investors and industry to facilitate the following priority projects:
• Tourism infrastructure and product, including high quality boutique and
accommodation, to support the proposed Grampians Long Distance Trail;
• Nature-based and adventure tourism infrastructure and product including walking
and bicycle trails to capitalise on the region’s natural assets;
• Accommodation associated with food and wine product; and
• Development of visitor accommodation and tourism facilities at Mount Arapiles. " Pg 30

But what does this have do with the humble climber ? :-)
