Victoria’s alpine resorts have received funding from the Regional Worker Accommodation Fund to create 1300 accommodation beds for resort workers across Falls Creek, Mt Buller and Mt Hotham.
The Grollo Group will build the worker accommodation as part of the $150million Regional Worker Accommodation Fund announced by the Allan Government last week. More than 20 projects have been awarded funding in the first round.
All successful projects are shovel-ready and include co-investment from private businesses, industries or local community groups – unlocking nearly $250 million in combined private and public investment in new regional housing.
This $138 million project for Alpine Victoria is to be delivered by the Grollo Group and will see the development of 1300 new key worker beds at the Mt Hotham Airfield, Mt Buller and Bogong Village, Falls Creek.
The Grollo Group, who are the recipients of the RWAF, will build modern and appropriate accommodation that meets the increasing demand for worker accommodation at the resorts.
The project is expected to commence in 2025 and be complete by the end of 2026.
