The Falls Creek website informs that the Minister [Gavin Jennings] is yet to approve the resort car parking rates for 2009, with the Resort Management seeking $31 for daily car parking rates and $248 for season car park permits.
However, the Resort Management is now selling ‘early bird’ season car park permits (before 30 April) at a discounted price of $207, with the added incentive of entering the draw for a pair of K2 Apache Interceptor skis if you buy online. A season car park permit makes good sense if you plan to visit Falls Creek for six days or more during the winter season and it avoids queuing at the resort entry gate when you arrive.

patience is a virtue
In October 2007, the Minister for Environment and Climate Change, Gavin Jennings, requested that the State Services Authority (SSA) undertake a Review of the Alpine Resorts Co-ordinating Council and five Alpine Resorts Management Boards.
Stakeholders were invited to make submissions to the Review by 29 February 2008 and a copy of the Australian Alpine Club submission can be downloaded here.
The final SSA report was presented to the Minister on 30 June 2008. It is understood that some copies of the report were secretly circulated to select groups at the end of 2008, however the Minister has not released the report to key stakeholders or the public.
