Environmentally friendly initiatives at Wintersun
- We recycle printer cartridges through Planet Ark facility at the local Australia Post.
- We recycle all paper products in the office.
- We recycle newspapers for cleaning the BBQs in the camp kitchen. Additional newspapers are taken to a nearby plantation along with the green waste from the park for mulching.
- We water the lawns using bore water and some grey water.
- We have planted water wise plants such as Agaves, succulents.
- We use mulching, wetting agents and reticulation set on timers to ensure water wise practices in our landscaping.
- We recycle our green waste into mulch at a nearby plantation.
- We replace all used light globes with energy efficient globes.
- We regularly clean light fittings, ceiling fans, air conditioning filters to ensure that they are operating efficiently.
- We use environmentally friendly cleaning products.
- We encourage customers to be water wise as detailed on our park rules. We have fitted water saving devices in all shower heads in the park.
- Where possible we use paper products made from recycled material.
- We recycle aluminium cans and donate the proceeds to the charity.
- We have installed Quantum energy hot water systems in our new chalets which are energy efficient.
- We only service chalets for long stay customers once a week (for new towels and linen) which reduces the amount of laundry and impact on the environment.
- We are not on deep sewerage but have a unique Biomax system at the back of the park which naturally and ecologically treats the liquid waste from the laundries and amenities blocks.
- We have fitted dual flush cisterns in the amenities.
- We do not have any leaking taps and attend to any leaks that spring up immediately.
- We have key tag switches in most chalets to turn off power when customers exit the building.
- We have instructions on the key tag for customers to consider the environment and turn off all appliances when not in their chalet.
