Alpine Resorts Leasing Policy

Land within Alpine Resorts in Victoria is Crown land, with the exception of three small freehold parcels at Mt Hotham. All sites within Alpine Resorts are held under leases granted on behalf of the Crown. Alpine Resort Management Boards are able to grant new leases and are also responsible for the day to day administration of all leases.

On 30 March 2002, the State Government released a leasing policy applying to the leasing of land within Alpine Resorts. The policy recognises the contribution of the resorts, both to the State and to regional Victoria and the fact that resorts are changing from seasonal destinations to year-round, tourism-based townships with permanent populations.

With the assistance and support of the Alpine Resorts Coordinating Council, the Alpine Resort Management Boards and stakeholder representatives, DSE subsequently developed a supporting paper which provides the details necessary to implement the approved policy. This was approved by the Minister for Environment and Conservation on 24 October 2002 and released.
