Updated 22nd July 2021
Charlotte Pass Resort is committed to ensuring that the health and safety of our guests, staff and the community is a top priority. Having consulted closely with Industry and Government representatives, Charlotte Pass implemented a COVID Safe Operating Plan to operate within applicable Government regulations and guidelines.
Our Safe Operating Plan includes a series of wellbeing measures for the 2021 snow season. These measures may continue to change, as and when Government guidelines and regulations evolve.
We ask all guests to follow these measures, as we all have an individual responsibility to do our part.
