Falls Creek Alpine Resort is thrilled to announce the opening of the new hub in the heart of the village, dedicated to Disabled Wintersport Australia (DWA) and conveniently situated in Falls Creek’s Slalom Plaza. This facility will not only serve as a central meeting point for DWA members and volunteers but also significantly enhance the organisation’s visibility within the resort.
As a national organisation, DWA takes responsibility for the development of disabled winter sports throughout Australia. Guided by their mission to promote and foster the participation of individuals with disabilities in winter sport, DWA is actively engaged at Falls Creek, Mt Buller and Mt Hotham. Visitors to these resorts will often spot DWA members and guides on the slopes, enjoying the winter sports experience.
Melinda Brown, President of DWA said “DWA is delighted to be opening our new on-snow home at Falls Creek today. Accessibility for people with disability is a key barrier to participation in snow sports and this facility will be a significant asset in providing support for our members and their families into the future. Our tremendous thanks goes to Falls Creek Alpine Resort for their generosity and assistance in making this happen.”
ARV’s CEO, Amber Gardner, and Falls Creek COO, Stuart Smythe, were on-site to mark the occasion.
“The resorts have always enjoyed a strong working partnership with DWA and looks forward to further growing their presence and offering across the mountains into the future.”
