Grange gets 'green star' accreditation. Grange Cleveland Winery & Grange Bellinzona was recently awarded a green star rating by AAA Tourism for being environmentally friendly. The standards for Green STAR Accreditation were developed in a partnership between AAA Tourism and GREEN GLOBE under the guidance of the Australian Government established Sustainable Tourism cooperative Research Centre. |
Our organisation is committed to preserving the environment throughout in many diverse ways:
Energy:
- Individual reverse cycle air conditioner and heater units in our conference venues and guest rooms making it more energy efficient.
- While delegates are attending conferences or meetings, all heating and cooling systems in public areas are controlled from reception allowing for better energy management.
- All equipment is serviced regularly to ensure that they run at their maximum energy efficient rate.
- All rooms are purpose-built to ensure good flow of natural air circulation, providing good cross ventilation, reducing the need for cooling systems.
Water:
- All water used for vineyard irrigation, frost control and gardens at Cleveland Winery is bore water.
- Plant selection is carefully designed to ensure our gardens can survive in drier conditions.
- We encourage guests to reuse towels.
- Most venues have dual flushing systems on all toilets, to reduce water wastage.
- Water saving shower heads in all our bathrooms.
Waste:
- We recycle papers, newspapers, magazines, print cartridges, cardboard boxes and plastics.
- We offer a la carte breakfast rather then buffet style to reduce food wastage. We also practice pre-ordering of evening meals to ensure accurate numbers are plated during conferences and events.
- Leftovers are given to the animals at vineyard or used as compost for our gardens.
Informing and Raising Awareness:
- We constantly raise staff awareness on the environment.
We integrate the preservation of the environment in all jobs.
