Planning Issues
The Department of Planning and Infrastructure Alpine Resorts Team (Department) is based in Jindabyne and has overall planning responsibility for development in the Perisher Range Resorts (including fire safety and building audits). [Clubs are reminded that the approval of NPWS is probably required under their lease terms to any proposed development.]
Clubs are encouraged to consult with the Department early in relation to all development proposals affecting lodges. The current contact details are:
