Hazardous Snow Training
Course overview
A Hazardous Area Authority is required for drivers of vehicles that have 13 or more seats (including the driver) and who wish to drive in proclaimed 'hazardous areas' for the Victorian Alpine region during the snow season.
Holders of a Hazardous Area Authority (HAA) are only permitted to drive a vehicle for which they have undertaken hazardous area training. A HAA does not allow the holder to drive a vehicle if they do not have the appropriate driver licence category
There are two types of Hazardous Area Authorities:
- Mt Hotham - this allows the holder to drive in any proclaimed hazardous area including Mt Hotham and
- Defined Areas other than Mt Hotham - this allows the holder to drive in any proclaimed hazardous area except Mt Hotham
Hazardous Snow Training: This is a TWO and a HALF DAYS course for drivers that need to obtain their HAA endorsement. The opportunity to participate in HAA training is limited due to the short delivery window & small class numbers.
A HAA Refresher must be completed prior to Authority expiration.
