ALPINE Resorts Victoria (formerly the Resort Management Board) commenced a master planning process for the activation of the Mirimbah Precinct earlier this year.
This process aims to strengthen Mirimbah's role as an orientation point and destination for discovering Victoria's High Country, highlighting its important role in activating year–round visitation to Mt Buller and Mt Stirling.
A combination of public consultation and drawing on the local values and aspirations for the precinct have resulted in the vision to enhance the pristine natural environment with improved facilities, with the aim to support passive and active recreation within and leading from the precinct.
Urban Enterprise, with support from Tract landscape architects, were engaged to develop the concept masterplan.
Two options have been prepared for the snow and green season to demonstrate potential site uses across the year.
The plans focus on the potential future uses for the precinct, and their spatial allocation based on best fit with the site landscape, amenity, and current and future site roles.
The options are indicative only and may change, following consultation, detailed engineering and design work.
The extensive feedback received earlier helped identify new and enhanced uses for the precinct that help assist the resorts increase year–round resort visitation, improve visitor experiences and build the regional economy.
Some of these uses include water play, formalised and improved camping facilities, glamping and visitor amenities.
The resort is welcoming feedback from the community on masterplan options and the uses identified for the site, with a community drop–in session happening at Mirimbah Store on Wednesday, December 14.
The concepts will be on display with representatives from Urban Enterprise and Tract landscape architects available to chat between 4:30 – 6:30pm.
Interested parties unable to attend this session, can view the masterplan concepts and provide feedback prior to December 20, 2022 online at www.rmb.mtbuller.com.au.
