Historical information
Mt Beauty township was sold in the 1960's after the State Electric Commission of Victoria had finished the construction of the Kiewa Hydro Electric Scheme.
Significance
The sale of Mt Beauty township signified the end of construction of the Kiewa Hydro Electric Scheme and the beginning of Mt Beauty under the Bright Shire (now Alpine Shire). Many of the workers for the State Electricity Commission of Victoria remained in Mt Beauty and many returned to retire in the town in later years.
