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.
