Resort Clean-up weekend
Currently property owners can come to the resort for emergency maintenance as per the guidance on the Victorian Government website here but require permission from the RMB. If you have to come up under these conditions, please contact us at property@mthotham.com.au for further information before travelling to the resort.
We’re holding our November hard waste collection date on 29 November 2021, immediately after our inaugural Resort Clean-up Weekend on 27-28 November 2021. This is a great opportunity to join with the RMB and other community members to make sure Mt Hotham is in tip-top condition for our summer guests.
Our infrastructure crews are busy!
When you do come up you will notice lots of construction underway, including works at the Loch carpark to prepare for the Alpine Gateway. Down at the other end of the resort we're doing trench works in preparation for the new Whisky Flat Recreation Facility.
It's exciting to see this work progressing for the resort's redevelopment and transformation program, providing facilities that will greatly enhance the visitor experience.
Roadworks on the Great Alpine Road
Regional Roads Victoria are currently working on two sites on the Great Alpine Road (GAR) between Harrietville and Hotham Heights, to prevent landslips.
For everyone’s safety, traffic will be reduced to one lane at each site and concrete barriers will be in place to protect workers. Traffic lights and signage will direct road users through each site.
Please plan for short delays of up to 5-10 minutes at each location until the end of the year. For more information, visit https://regionalroads.vic.gov.au/map/hume/landslip-prevention-program
