Help Shape the Future of Victoria’s Alpine Resorts

Have your say on the 2026–2030 Alpine Resorts Strategic Plan

The Victorian Government is currently developing the 2026–2030 Alpine Resorts Strategic Plan, and public consultation is open until 6 July 2025. This is a critical opportunity for bushwalkers and nature lovers to have input into the future management of our alpine areas.

Victoria’s alpine resorts are more than just winter destinations. They are year-round natural assets, valued by bushwalkers for their stunning scenery, unique ecosystems, and remote trail networks. How these areas are managed in the coming years will have a direct impact on our access to trails, conservation of alpine biodiversity, and the overall experience of walking in these precious landscapes.

The draft Strategic Plan will guide decisions about tourism development, infrastructure, climate adaptation, and environmental protection. It’s essential that recreational users who value low-impact enjoyment of the alpine environment make their voices heard.

We encourage all members to:

  • Visit the Engage Victoria website
  • Read the draft plan and background information
  • Provide your feedback through the online survey or submission process

Your input can help ensure that bushwalking and nature-based recreation remain a priority in planning decisions and that the unique character of Victoria’s alpine landscapes is protected for future generations.

Read the draft plan and have your say

Submissions close 6 July 2025.

Let’s make sure the bushwalking community is represented in this important conversation.
