Resort Master Plan
In 2011 Mt Buller completed a detailed Resort Master Plan, which maps out the future direction, operation and vision of the Resort for the next 20 years.
The Resort Master Plan was developed through extensive community and stakeholder engagement to represent a vision that is owned and supported by the stakeholders and wider community of Mt Buller.
The Master Plan contains a number of staged developments that will improve access to and around Mt Buller, grow the Resort's commercial and activity offering, and enhance the interface between the Mt Buller Village and other key areas of the Resort. It also identifies the infrastructure investments that need to be made to attract visitation on a year-round basis and ensure the ongoing economic viability and prosperity of the Resort.
Focus Areas
1
Accessibility - the connected mountain
2
Community - the Village heart
3
Amenity - the complete experience
4
Activation - the active destination
5
Sustainability - how we respond to environmental, commercial & community issues
Key projects since
Master Plan completion
Like most Master Plans, delivery of all elements of the Mt Buller Master Plan is likely to take decades. Since the Master Plan was finalised in 2011, Mt Buller Mt Stirling Resort Management and other stakeholders have completed numerous projects. Priorities and solutions to challenges the Master Plan attempts to address will evolve and be re-prioritised over time. Along this journey, stakeholders will continue to be consulted and their input sought and appreciated.
