The Club is committed to implement sustainable practices and to reduce our impact upon the environment. The NSW Government via the Department of Climate Change, Environment and Water provided a grant to implement changes in the Clubs lighting and toilets. The Club has also implemented a range of initiatives and will continue to examine ways to lessen our impact
Some measures implemented so far include:
- Use of energy efficient hand dryers in some high use toilets, eliminating paper towel in terms of acquiring and disposal, thus reducing landfill
- Implementation of energy efficient lighting, which has been calculated by independent experts to save as follows over the next 10 years: 1,023 megawatts of power and 1,095 tonnes of greenhouse emissions
- Implementation of water efficient toilets which has also been calculated to save 16.3 million litres of water over the next 10 years
- Reduction of general waste thus requiring 2 waste removals per week rather than 3
- Recycling cardboard and paper wherever possible
- Recycling our glass and plastic.
- Catering implementing practices to reduce food waste
