Targa Classica - this week at Mt Hotham

Mt Hotham will be hosting the Targa Classica event as it winds its way through the Victorian high countrythis week. On Tuesday 28 March competitors will arrive for the evening and give mountain guests the opportunity to admire rare and vintage cars that are not often seen on public roads.

Due to the number of participants staying overnight, part of the Corral Car Park will be reserved for Targa Classica participants. There will also be significantly increased traffic in the village so we ask that all visitors allow extra time for travelling through the resort.

For full details of the event and changes to resort operations, please check the RMB website.

Hard waste collection - 11 April 2023

The last hard waste collection date for the summer is Tuesday 11 April 2023 (after Easter weekend 7-10 April).

When leaving hard rubbish out for collection, please don't put it in the garbage hutches - leave it near your property and off the road, ensuring that the rubbish is well contained and doesn't impede visitor access. Some items can't be left for collection, so please check the Resort Management website before leaving hard rubbish for collection.
