The Board works closely with the Alpine Resorts Co-ordinating Council, the statutory body charged with the responsibility to plan and facilitate management of the six Victorian Alpine Resorts.
Members of the Board serve three-year terms and appointments (made by the Victorian Minister for the Environment) are based on skills in administration, management, finance, environment, law, marketing, and tourism.
