Sustainability and Eco-friendly Practices

August 14, 2023

Celebrating our 200kW expansion of solar capacity and two Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations.

We are excited to announce that our Centre has further strengthened its sustainability and eco-friendly practices by expanding its solar power capacity 200%, from 100kW to 300kW, and installing two electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging stations.

The solar expansion means our Centre’s daytime energy use will be almost fully powered by solar and our retailers will have the opportunity to boost their green credentials through the centre’s solar capacity.

The 300kW solar system produces 427,000kWh of renewable energy each year which equates to savings of approximately 342 Tonnes of carbon dioxide, or the equivalent of removing 180 cars off the road each year.

Two dedicated car parks near Aldi supermarket now feature 24/7 accessible ‘Evie’ charging stations enabling electric vehicles to be charged while shopping, dining or at work.

A Cleaner, More Sustainable Future

On Monday 7 August we invited our local partners, retailer’s and members of Toowoomba Regional Council to join us for our official announcement and morning tea. We thank each of them for joining us to support these new initiatives which reflect our commitment to further reducing our carbon footprint and to support the transition towards a cleaner, more sustainable future in our region.

We are thrilled that our residents and visitors can now experience all the convenience and eco-friendliness of our centre while visiting our 20 speciality stores, Coles, Aldi, The Reject Shop and our medical precinct.
