At BIG4 Moruya Heads Easts Dolphin Beach Holiday Park, we are dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of our surroundings. We believe in responsible tourism and have implemented various measures to minimise our environmental impact.
Single-Use Plastic Reduction
We were proactive in eliminating single-use plastics from our operations, even before statewide regulations. This decision has significantly reduced our plastic waste and contributed to a cleaner environment.
Bottles for Trees Initiative
Our Bottles for Trees programme encourages guests to recycle glass, plastic bottles, and cans. The proceeds from these donations are used to purchase native trees and shrubs, which provide valuable habitat and food sources for wildlife. This initiative was launched in response to the devastating bushfires of 2019/20, and it continues to make a positive impact on our local ecosystem.
Water Conservation
We prioritise water conservation through several measures:
- Bore water - We utilise bore water for watering our grass.
- Low-maintenance grass - Our carefully selected grass varieties require minimal water and care. We regularly aerate and fertilise our lawns with wildlife-friendly herbicides, promoting healthy growth while reducing overall water consumption.
- Efficient fixtures - We have installed water-saving showerheads and taps throughout our facilities.
Energy Efficiency
We are committed to reducing our energy consumption with:
- Energy-efficient lighting and solar - Our park and cabins are equipped with energy-efficient lighting and solar power systems.
- Appliance selection - We purchase energy-efficient appliances whenever possible.
- Power conservation - We ensure that unnecessary appliances are switched off when not in use.
Recycling Programmes
We have recycling programmes in place for various materials, including:
- General waste
- Paper and cardboard
- Batteries
- Printer toner
- Metal
Local Sourcing
To minimize our carbon footprint, we prioritise using local suppliers and businesses.
Join Us in Making a Difference We invite our guests to participate in our sustainability efforts by recycling, conserving water, and minimising their environmental impact. Together, we can create a more sustainable future for our park and the surrounding community.
