Vibrant resorts are important contributors to regional economies generating thousands of jobs in hospitality, services and construction. The Victorian Government was elected on a platform that includes a strong commitment The Honourable Sherryl Garbutt MP to strengthening regional economies, Minister for Environment and Conservation protecting our natural environment and to ensuring the sustainable use of our resources. A key initiative under this platform is the preparation of a statewide alpine resorts strategy that provides for public demands for alpine recreation within the environmental constraints of the alpine setting. Importantly, the Strategy will be aimed at ensuring that the quality of the alpine resorts is maintained and that long term planning proactively responds to the potential impacts of climate change. 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 4 01 The Discussion Paper is the first step in The lower resorts are likely to be the most The resorts have all experienced substantial the development of a strategic vision and significantly impacted by 2020, with the growth in non winter visitation over the last framework for the future planning of Victoria’s higher altitude resorts having the capacity to decade and each has opportunities to alpine resorts. increase their snow making to offset lower encourage further growth in this part of snow falls. their market.

After 0.5km it drops gently down to a grassy plain and veers west to a marker that designates the track loop.
