Upholding Integrity, Accountability and Strategic Leadership

At Alpine Resorts Victoria, our commitment to strong corporate governance ensures we deliver transparent, ethical, and effective public service outcomes for all Victorians. Our governance framework supports strategic decision-making, risk management, and compliance with legislative and regulatory obligations.

Our Governance Framework

Our governance model is built on the principles of:

  • Accountability – Clear roles, responsibilities, and performance expectations.
  • Transparency – Open communication and reporting to stakeholders.
  • Integrity – Ethical conduct and decision-making at all levels.
  • Stewardship – Responsible management of public resources.
  • Inclusivity – Diverse representation and community engagement.

Leadership and Oversight

Our governance structure is comprised of the following.

ARV Board – the role of the Board is to govern the organisation so that ARV fulfils its obligations under the Alpine Resorts (Management) Act 1997 (the ARM Act) and delivers its aims and outcomes while acting ethically and prudently and remaining within the law.

This involves ensuring good corporate governance, determining and approving corporate strategy and providing guidance and oversight to senior management.

The Board and management usually act as ‘partners’, but the Board has ultimate responsibility and must also exercise independent judgement.

Finance, Risk and Audit Committee (FRAC) – The FRAC is a subcommittee of the Alpine Resorts Victoria (ARV) Board established to independently review and assess the effectiveness of ARV’s systems and controls for financial management, performance and sustainability, including risk management.

It assures the highest standards of probity and ethical behaviour in everything ARV does.

Executive Leadership Team – Provides strategic direction and operational oversight.
