Alpine Resorts Legislation Amendment Bill 2022

Introduction and first reading

Ms ALLAN (Bendigo East—Leader of the House, Minister for Transport Infrastructure, Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop) (13:49): I move:

That I introduce a bill for an act to amend the Alpine Resorts (Management) Act 1997 to repeal the establishment of the alpine resort management boards and the Alpine Resorts Co-ordinating Council by that act, to establish Alpine Resorts Victoria, to make consequential and related amendments to that act and other acts and for other purposes.

Motion agreed to.

Ms McLEISH (Eildon) (13:49): Despite that explanation, I would seek a further brief explanation of that bill.

Ms ALLAN (Bendigo East—Leader of the House, Minister for Transport Infrastructure, Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop) (13:49): It will be a brief explanation as I am doing this on behalf of the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change and, as I am sure the shadow minister is aware, the minister for the environment has been working very hard in recent years on governance matters to do with alpine resorts. There have been for some time now a number of alpine resorts—the different resorts have different bodies that look after the management of those resorts—and this bill brings to that structure a future reform program that the minister has been working very hard on, as I said, in recent years.

Read first time.

Ordered to be read second time tomorrow.
