Dinner Plain

Officially opened in 1986, Dinner Plain is Australia’s only freehold land above the snowline. 

It is the only Australian alpine resort to be managed by a local government agency. 

This freehold allowed for the development of the entire village to be planned and designed to realise the vision of the original developers, Dinner Plain Pty Ltd and their architect, Peter McIntyre. 

Peter McIntyre's design features buildings architecturally inspired by the characteristics of the old cattlemen's huts.

Peter McIntyre went on to receive the Zelman Cowan Award for non-residential architecture in 1987, in recognition of distinctive architectural design and planning of the village.
