ARV is proudly leading the development of a new sector-wide strategic plan for 2026 – 2030. The 2026-2030 Alpine Resorts Strategic Plan is the key strategic tool outlining the vision, long-term objectives, challenges and opportunities, and strategic priorities for the sector.
For the first time the plan will be delivered under the unified governance of ARV. This means there will be a sector-wide focus and a collaborative approach between government, private entities and the community, to plan for the sustainability and vibrancy of Victoria’s alpine resorts. Amber Gardner, CEO of ARV, said, “The Alpine Resorts Strategic Plan is a plan for the whole industry, so it’s critical that we facilitate a collaborative approach to strategy development through engaging with a broad cross section of the alpine community.”
“The Victorian alpine resorts contribute an enormous $2.14 billion annually to the State economy, so it’s important that the 2026-2030 Alpine Resorts Strategic Plan supports the sector to thrive and prosper for the future,” said Gardner.
“This sector is full of passionate, engaged and knowledgeable people, so drawing on their diverse perspectives to inform the strategic direction of Victoria’s alpine resorts is the best way forward,” she said.
“We are using a combination of in-person workshops, alongside online consultation to hear the priorities for the sector and understand both the challenges and opportunities we can address within this plan.”
Stakeholders and the alpine community can provide their insights online via Engage Victoria from 5 June 2025.
To support the broader alpine community engagement, key stakeholders including the stakeholder consultative committees at each resort, local and State government representatives and resort business operators will participate in in-person workshops throughout June.
“Following this extensive engagement process, ARV will use all the knowledge, wisdom and insights gained from the consultation to build the priorities and opportunities within the 2026-2030 Alpine Resorts Strategic Plan.” said Gardner.
“ARV is committed to valuable, purposeful and meaningful engagement with the alpine sector, and to delivering a plan that supports the sector’s growth and on-going success so I encourage anyone who is interested in participating to register for the ARV Newsletter via the ARV website to stay up to date and provide their insights at an appropriate time for them,” she said.
ARV will continue to update the website and all stakeholders with information as the development of the plan progresses.
