Ski resorts the world over face the problem of accommodating workers and an infrastructure play offers flat land in Victoria’s high country to do just that.
Melbourne’s Grollo family has acquired Mount Hotham Airport in north-eastern Victoria for more than $6.5 million and plans to develop residential accommodation for workers and staff at the nearby Mt Hotham and Dinner Plain ski resorts on the 105-hectare site.
The airport has a 1460-metre runway, allowing aircraft such as the Dash 8 twin turboprop – which carries up to 90 passengers and can fly direct from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane – but has available land to extend the runway by a further 300 metres to cater for larger aircraft. – adding to a portfolio that already included Perisher in NSW – said it sold the airport, 10 kilometres from Dinner Plain and a further 10 kilometres from Mt Hotham, because it did not want to take on the development task itself.
