New appointments announced for Falls Creek Alpine Resort Management Board

Falls Creek Alpine Resort Management Board has been advised by Victoria’s Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D’Ambrosio of appointments to the Board for the period 30th March 2018 to 29th March 2021.

The new Board members are:

• Jo Shannon (Chair)
• Lindy Allen (Deputy Chair)
• Jason Alexandra
• Michelle Croughan
• Susan Lebish
• Helen Moran
• Peter Valerio

The Falls Creek Board has also retained the services of its outgoing Chair, Susan Lebish while both Lindy Allen and Jason Alexandra continue their service.

The Minister has confirmed that Lebish will join Michelle Croughan, Helen Moran and Peter Valerio as common members on the Boards of Falls Creek, Mount Hotham, Mount Buller and Mount Stirling. This is to assist with improving collaboration across the resorts.

In a statement, incoming Chair Shannon advised “it is a privilege to be appointed as the Chair of the Falls Creek Alpine Resort Management Board.

“I am committed to taking an open and collaborative approach to deliver sustainable outcomes for all stakeholders. I look forward to working with the Board and the Falls Creek community.”

The Board looks forward to continuing its collaboration with the alpine resort sector, particularly in the areas of improved efficiency and transparency. Furthermore, it will work with the Alpine Resorts Co-Ordinating Council (ARCC) on its review of resort services, cost and efficiencies.

The Victorian alpine resorts’ economic contribution, environmental stewardship and provision of recreational and social benefits plays a vital role in state tourism and in their support for the local, regional and state economies.

Falls Creek, as the largest Victorian alpine resort and Bronze Award winner of the RACV Major Tourism Awards 2018, is already a leader in its adoption of climate change initiatives, and has pledged to improve its environmental sustainability along with progressing its targets for improved resource use, and working towards complying with obligations under the Climate Change Act 2017.
