Expressions of Interest now open for commercial operations at Mt Hotham’s snowplay activity zone

Expressions of Interest now open for commercial operations at Mt Hotham’s snowplay activity zone
August 4, 2022

Mt Hotham Resort Management Board has announced that Expressions of Interest are now open for commercial operations located at the new Hotham Hub Snowplay and Activity facility located at Wire Plain, scheduled to commence construction after winter 2022. Expressions of Interest are invited from commercial operators in any or all of the categories of retail, hospitality and snowplay (winter)/outdoor (summer) activities

Mt Hotham is one of Victoria’s leading alpine resorts and during winter, its diverse runs and abundant snow attracts over 150,000 visitors who enjoy downhill, cross country and backcountry skiing and snowboarding. Over the warmer months (Spring, Summer, Autumn) Hotham appeals to walkers, cyclists and nature-based enthusiasts who enjoy the resort’s vast and striking alpine terrain.

The resort is currently working to match Hotham’s world-class natural assets with high-quality public infrastructure and visitor experiences. This includes the transformation of the Hotham village, the highest of its kind in Australia.

Visitor facility developments with a combined value of $18 million are currently underway in-resort, designed to position Mt Hotham for long-term strategic growth. Key projects currently under way include the Alpine Gateway Car Park and Visitor Centre, Hotham Hub Snowplay and Activity facility, the Hotham Precinct Development, and placemaking works to lift the look and feel of the Village.

These critical developments respond to increasing demand from existing and emerging markets, and signal the start of a new phase of growth and revitalisation for the resort.

The opportunity
The Mt Hotham Resort Management Board is inviting expressions of interest from commercial operators in any or all of the categories of retail, hospitality and snowplay (winter)/outdoor (summer) activities.  This is an exciting opportunity to work with the RMB to activate this area year-round, building on (but not limited to) the activities already located in this area: snow play, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and cycling.

Interested parties have a unique opportunity to shape this new revitalised activity hub with the RMB and therefore there are no evaluation criteria for this EOI. The RMB will consider all reasonable proposals.

Funding has been secured for the construction of the venue, which is due to commence after winter 2022.

More information
Full details about the opportunity and how to submit an Expression of Interest are available on the Mt Hotham RMB website 

The closing date for submissions is Sunday 28th August, 2022.

For further information, please contact Lyndsey Jackman at LyndseyJackman@mthotham.com.au or on 0400 339 626
