The Alpine Resorts Co-ordinating Council, or ARCC, is established under Victorian legislation to plan and facilitate the establishment, development, promotion, management and use of the six Victorian Alpine Resorts.

Victoria's Alpine Resorts are unique areas that give visitors ready access to Australia's very special Alpine environments. They provide everyone with a magnificent all-year round recreational facility. They are the main areas where Victorians can have fun in the snow or, if they desire, engage in competitive snow sports. The Alpine Resorts also perform a key economic role for their regions and are an important part of Victoria's tourism industry.

The State government is committed to a strategic vision for Victoria's Alpine Resorts. The government's Alpine Resorts 2020 Strategy' sets out a vision of "four season, vibrant, sustainable resorts". A key role of the ARCC is to work with Alpine Resort managers and others to pursue this vision by co-ordinating the implementation of the many actions listed in the Strategy.

Access and Diversity Workshop
Nearly 40 representatives of disability, ethnic and disadvantaged 'user' groups, on-mountain 'providers' and the Resort Boards gathered in Melbourne in November to share their experiences and ideas about how access and diversity objectives can be put in place. Following a personal address from Gavin Jennings, the Minister for Environment and Climate Change, the participants listened to the perspectives of a teacher working with students form a 'disadvantaged area', an ethnic community advocate and a disability worker. After hearing of some 'good news' stories from each Alpine Resort, participants broke into workshop groups to listen to each other, to identify barriers and new consider new ideas and approaches. A transcript of the presentations and key findings will be available soon.

Victorian Alpine Resort Fees Compare Well
A consultant economist's study of property charges, charges related to the provision of municipal type services and water and sewerage, per capita Government grant income and gate entry charges has now been released. The report shows that the Victorian Alpine Resort Management Board charges compare favourably with equivalent charges imposed by adjacent Victorian municipalities and the New South Wales alpine resorts. The report is available on request from the Council and is also available in electronic form.
