Legislation allows a 50 year lease and Parks Victoria has it up for tender. (But before tendering, look into the court file to see what the previous tenants complained about).

If the proposed gondola goes in it may be a worthwhile investment... maybe... :unsure:

From what I have heard it will be saved. A lodge burnt down (back burning accident) that was insured for over 50 million which was owned by Parks. Apparently 10 mil will be spent on renos and 8 mil will be spent on getting power to the building. I think it would be a good thing but I think to many greenies are involved. Also heard that the gondola is a pipe dream.

The 50 years is interesting given anecdotal reports that leases to small clubs in resorts only being offered 10 years with a tenfold increase in site rentals [which has to be passed on to consumers and school groups if those small lodges aren't going to be turned into millionaires apartments in a decade after the GFC and ETS becomes ancient history.
