BACKGROUND
The Greta Lodge was constructed for the original road workers who built Glen Lyon Road. The hut was used as a cook house while the road was being built, and it was used to feed the workers during the depression in the 30s.
The lodge is situated halfway up the side of Lake Ohau on the true left of the valley. The age of the hut means there is a historical significance, however, the site is not listed as a heritage building. The hut has a bunk bed, and a queen bed, but historically used to have space to sleep six people. The hut is in some disrepair and needs work to become more watertight to prevent damage.
OPTIONS
Along with its historic heritage values, Council believes that Greta Lodge’s proximity to the Dobson Valley provides conservational/recreational values and opportunities.
LEASE
Council is interested in establishing a long-term pepper-corn lease with a club or community group to manage and maintain the hut.
