Acknowledgements Photo Credit: Visit Victoria Report: Prepared by Shanaugh Lyon, Alpine Resorts Co-ordinating Council Summer 2017/18 Visitation Survey Report Chairperson’s Foreword I am pleased to present the 2017/18 Summer Visitation Survey Report that has been produced by the Alpine Resorts Co-ordinating Council as part of its on-going research and survey program. Summer 2017/18 saw a 2.8 per cent decrease in vehicle numbers compared to the previous year with just over 200,000 vehicles entering the resorts. There was a 0.2 per cent increase in visitor numbers compared to the previous year, with over 430,000 visitors to the resorts. Whilst the figures show that there continues to be seasonal variation, it is particularly pleasing to see that visitation growth over the summer period is continuing to trend upwards, on average by 3.1 per cent per annum since occupancy surveys commenced in 2008/09. The Alpine Resorts Strategic Plan 2012 includes several actions to grow the summer or ‘green season’ market by capitalising on the competitive strengths of the individual alpine resorts. This report provides consistent measurement and greater understanding of summer visitation, which is important for the assessment of actions taken to increase summer use of alpine resorts by the community. On behalf of the Council I would like to thank all Alpine Resort Management Boards and staff for their ongoing support of this project. Without their assistance to undertake the vehicle and occupancy counts, this report would not have been possible. I trust you find the extensive statistics, charts and other data useful in understanding the visitation patterns to Victorian alpine resorts over the 2017/18 summer period. Arianne Rose Chairperson i Summer 2017/18 Visitation Survey Report ii Summer 2017/18 Visitation Survey Report Executive Summary The 2017/18 summer visitation survey, conducted at all Physical counts of the number of occupants per vehicle Victoria Alpine Resorts from Melbourne Cup Weekend and the purpose of the visit were conducted by Boards until Anzac Day, found that 214,324 vehicles visited the on several days during the survey period. From this data resorts. This was an decrease of 2.8 per cent, or it is estimated that almost 436,000 people visited the approximately 6,000 vehicles, compared to the previous resorts in 2017/18. This is an increase of 0.2 per cent, or year’s result. around 600 visitors compared to the previous year. The Council and Boards have now been conducting such Notwithstanding, annual visitation growth remains surveys for ten years. They show that over that period, positive, averaging 3.1 per cent per annum since visitation has generally been trending upwards across occupancy surveys commenced in 2008/09. resorts, notwithstanding that there has been some variability, perhaps due to events beyond the control of Detailed analysis also shows that there is a difference in resorts, such as large scale fire events in some years. visitation characteristics between weekend/holiday Over the decade, the All Resorts results show an annual periods and weekdays, with vehicle occupancy being trend increase in vehicle numbers of 2.9 per cent. higher for weekend/holiday periods than for weekdays. However, this increase is not evenly spread across all Resort staff and resident traffic remains considerable resorts. higher on weekdays. As with previous years, there is a correlation between An increasing number of road cyclists are also using the vehicle numbers, holiday periods and on-mountain resort access roads, corresponding with an increase in events. The surveys show that for most resorts, peak road cycling events in the High Country. vehicle counts appear to coincide with school holidays and/or long weekends. The staging of major on-mountain events coincident with these key holiday times results in an additional increase in recorded vehicle numbers. The survey results also show that the staging of events outside of holiday times can result in significant increases in visitation compared to non-event, non-holiday weekends. Mt Hotham continues to see large numbers of vehicles visiting and/or passing through the resort. This indicates the tourism significance and popularity of the Great Alpine Road as a regional touring route and as a link between north-eastern Victoria and Gippsland. Falls Creek, Lake Mountain and Mount Buller have shown a decrease in vehicle numbers this year. Mount Stirling remains about the same as last year. Mount Baw Baw has shown an increase of around 1000 vehicles this year. iii Summer 2017/18 Visitation Survey Report Contents Chairperson’s Foreword ................................................................................................................................................................ i Executive Summary ..................................................................................................................................................................... iii 1.

The Room with a View walk initially follows a slightly undulating trail then flattens out. The track heads north along the eastern flanks of Dead Timber Hill. After 0.5km it drops gently down to a grassy plain and veers west to a marker that designates the track loop.

Winter 2012 End of Season Report Chairperson’s Foreword This is the seventh End of Season Report produced by Council. It provides a wealth of information that will be of interest to a wide range of alpine stakeholders. It contains information on visitation and snow depth, as well as summary information on economic significance and visitor satisfaction. The 2012 snow season produced some of the best snow for the decade. This resulted in sufficient snow enabling very good visitation during the critical June/July school holidays and the continuation of good snow cover for the remainder of the season for most Victorian Alpine Resorts.
