THE Mansfield district felt the earth move in October 2021, and the consequences of Australia's largest recorded earthquake are still being rectified.

Mt Buller suffered quite a bit of damage due to this quake, one of which was the loss of some 80 carparks on the Cornhill car parking area when it collapsed.

It has taken nearly 18 months of planning, funding and reconstruction to rectify the works needed to be able to once again park visitor cars on this part of the mountain.

"It took $3m to fix and rebuild this damage caused by the earthquake," Chief Operations Officer (COO) for Mt Buller, Mark Bennetts said.

"This was bigger than the landslide which blocked the road at White Corner up to the top of the mountain last year."

Cornhill carpark will once again be open to parking for the upcoming snow season.

Another project which is almost complete for the mountain is the increase to power supplies for Buller.

"Again this is another project which has cost some $3.6m with the work being carried out by AusNet," Mr Bennetts said.

"Power poles from Merrijig to the top of the mountain are being replaced with the project now reaching beyond Mirimbah.

"AusNet are currently working in the valley leading to the top and interruptions to the traffic flow, which had impacted travelers and trades people over some summer months, are not expected," he said.

"The increase in power will enable the expansion of the snow making system which in turn will give Buller Ski Lifts (BSL) an increased capacity to snowmaking and the resort in general."

Mr Bennetts said in the past when all snow making equipment was turned on the rest of the mountain and some areas off the mountain experienced a drop in power.

This is now not expected to happen and Mr Bennetts said when snow making starts in earnest the additional power supply will allow all snow factories to run at the same time.

BSL purchased two further snow factories at the end of the 2022 snow season giving them four factories in all for this season – and the capacity to make snow with temperatures up to 25 degrees.
