On a remote island in Bass Strait, not far from Flinders Island, a tourism development funded by hundreds of investors is being proposed.

A six-bedroom accommodation house planned to be built on Little Dog Island is the brainchild of tourism developer Clem Newton-Brown, a former Victorian politician who owns other tourism accommodation facilities on Tasmania's Picnic Island and Flinders Island.
