Environment

Kosciuszko Thredbo Environmental Services department take care of the village essentials. Water supply, waste removal, recycling, car parking, courtesy buses and snow clearing are just some of the responsibilities of the department.

 

Thredbo understands the unique nature of the environment around us, so in conjunction with residents, guests and local businesses we are pitching in to ensure its sustainable commercial and ecological future. As part of this, Kosciuszko Thredbo has implemented a new plan called the Environment Management System (EMS).

 

The EMS is based on the international standard and covers all operational areas of Kosciuszko Thredbo's business.  The EMS details a particular area’s operations and how they can manage their potential impact on the environment.  For example, the Thredbo Alpine Hotel plan outlines waste reduction and water conservation measures that will be implemented over and above those already in place.  At this stage, the EMS is for Kosciuszko Thredbo only, it is proposed to offer other Thredbo businesses some components of the system in the near future to allow them to manage their own potential impact on the environment. 

 

The team at Thredbo actively engages in resource conservation, renewable energy use, recycling and other forms of waste reduction in addition to wildlife habitat preservation and environmental education. We can all do our bit for a better world.
