Retaining Wall - Falls Creek Alpine Resort has completed work to solidify the retaining walls below the Lodge along Falls Creek Road. A couple of pictures of machinery in action are below. 

Stormwater and drainage improvements above, around and beside the Lodge are also underway, photo below shows the downhill, fire escape side of the Lodge. 

Landslip roadworks progress - check out the ABC News story on remediation of the landslip which closed the Bogong High Plains Road to just one lane of traffic during 2023. Works are on schedule to have both lanes open before the ski season. Fingers crossed it’s safe to re-open both lanes. 

Vale David Risby - former President of the Falls Creek Alpine Association (FCAA, the Chamber of Commerce for the village), passed away on 10 January 2024. Read the FCAA tribute here.

It's been a bit messy booking other members in with you if booking into another AAC lodge. The other members had to first log into that club's booking system so that they would be recognised and offered AAC rates.

That has been made easier with a recent update to the booking system. Now when you are saying who is in which bed, you can nominate which club they come from. The surname matching (just start typing surname to see suggestions) will then look at that club's database for suggested names. If you select someone from those suggestions then the correct tafiff should be applied.

This also helps if you including a member of another AAC club in your booking at AACFC.

As part of our push to stay up-to-date with modern privacy and security practices, we are changing how we record members' dates of birth.

For members 25 years of age and older, we are removing day and month of birth, and will now only keep a record of your year of birth. This process should be complete within the next few weeks.

The club's Privacy policy underwent a major review earlier in the year. The new policy is published on the website.

This year the subs invoices are being sent out using the booking system. This means that you can pay using the eway secure payment gateway that is used for booking payments. This much more secure than telling the club your credit/debit card details via email or phone.

Alternatively you can pay by EFT but you have to log into the booking system to see the account details. Those details were removed from booking invoices some time ago. Now they will no longer appear on the subscription invoice.This avoids the increasing risk where hackers sometimes intercept emails and alter the account details to steal the money you transfer. If paying subs by EFT please use your member number as the payment reference.

You can log on to the booking system and go to menu Members/Pay Outstanding Subs, or follow the link on the invoice email. When following links, always check that the address it actually takes you to looks correct in the browser address bar (in this case https://aacfallscreek.cbdweb.net/app/login/member?ref=%2Fapp%2Fmembers%2Fpay-subs) and is marked as secure. Never pay or provide sensitive information if a site does not look right.

As always, payment is due by 31 January. If you do not receive an invoice or have any difficulties with the payent system, contact Proacct.
