National Alpine Plan

In 2018 the Alpine and Ski Cross disciplines began implementing the Alpine & Ski Cross Review and Roadmap recommendations which were evidence based and utimately aimed to improve sporting outcomes. 

As a continuation of the 2018 Review and Roadmap, Snow Australia and the National Alpine Committee (NAC) have developed a six year rolling National Alpine Plan with the purpose to: 

1. Lead and facilitate a systemic, better-practice approach to sport development within Alpine and Ski Cross; 
    
2. Build a collaborative platform to support aligned approaches for all stakeholders, leading to higher functioning investment and engagement; 
    
3. Identify strengths and opportunities within the pathway to leverage, create and deliver initiatives across Capability, Communication, Community and Capacity. 

The National Alpine Plan is not intended as a ‘set-and-forget’ approach but rather a functional, living, adaptable approach, responsive to the needs of the sport, community, organisation, and social environment in which it operates.

Alpine Stakeholder and Working Group Framework

In support of the National Alpine Plan, the Alpine Stakeholder and Working Group Framework has been developed to clearly identify the organisational stakeholders and their core area of function and purpose. 
 
These core areas include:

• Sport Leadership;
• High Performance Partners;
• Pathway Leadership and Delivery;
• Support.

The NAC will establish National and Regional Working Groups to support the leaderships stakeholders to deliver on the National Alpine Plan. Each working group will reflect the four pillars outlined in the National Alpine Plan, and will have a project-based and collaborative focus.
 
The Communication, Community and Capacity working groups will include a NAC lead, Alpine Staff, Clubs and Community representatives as well as Northern Management Committee and members from its sub-committees. The Capability working group will only include our Affiliated Club Head Coaches or Representatives.
