The Victorian Government announced on Monday 22 March its intention to merge the four existing Alpine Resort Management Boards (ARMBs), Mount Hotham ARMB, Falls Creek ARMB, Mount Buller and Mount Stirling ARMB and the Southern ARMB, into a new statutory body corporate to be known as Alpine Resorts Victoria, subject to the passage of legislation in early 2022.

The ARCC will monitor the delivery of the strategic plan through its existing Council meeting process. Twice a year (October and April) ARMB Chairs will provide a progress report on the delivery of that year’s actions that are assigned to the ARMBs, as will the Chair of the ARCC for actions assigned to it. The ARCC will also provide an update on the progress of any actions assigned to other organisations (such as DELWP).
