Falls Creek Alpine Resort Management Board

Full description

Commencement

The Falls Creek Alpine Resort Management Board was established following a review of the Alpine Resorts Commission (VA 2645) in 1997 and an amendment to the Alpine Resorts Act 1983 (No. 9974) which saw the establishment of independent management boards. The Alpine Resorts (Management) Act 1997 (No. 89/1997) came into operation on 30 April 1998 and established a set of Statutory Rules that Victorian Resorts were to operate under. The Act established the Alpine Resorts Coordinating Council (ARCC) and an Alpine Resort board for each of the six resorts, including the Falls Creek Alpine Resort Management Board.

The Board was to consist of not less than three and not more than four members appointed by the Minister.
