Environmental Recognition And Awards
Alongside our winter wins, we take pride in our long list of environmental initiatives and embrace the opportunity to lead the industry and community towards a more sustainable future, today.
EarthCheck Gold Certification
Our focus on environment and sustainability has resulted in Thredbo being the first Australian snow resort to receive EarthCheck Gold certification in 2023 for the third year running. EarthCheck is the world’s leading environmental certification and benchmarking program for the travel and tourism industry. The internationally-recognised certification positions Thredbo a leader of sustainable alpine tourism destinations worldwide.
Sustainable Tourism AwardAs the only ski resort to be nominated, we’re proud to be one of four finalists for the Sustainable Tourism Award at the 2023 Banksia Foundation NSW Sustainability Awards supported by the NSW Government. A celebration of sustainability and ingenuity, these awards recognise NSW individuals, communities, businesses and government for their innovation and excellence in environmental and social stewardship. Thredbo looks forward to celebrating the sustainability achievements of those who are working towards a more sustainable future for NSW at the Awards Ceremony in December.
Looking ForwardContinually improving our offering, we are currently making even more resort-wide developments with construction now well and truly underway for our new year-round Alpine Coaster that will be ready to ride for winter 2024, as well as continuing to rollout our 10-year chairlift replacement plan to update and improve existing infrastructure.
In addition to current developments, we recently lodged a development application (DA) with the NSW Department of Planning and Environment for a new accommodation sub-division for the Thredbo Golf Course. This submission has carefully considered the NSW Government’s objectives to boost activity in the region whilst respecting and preserving the unique Alpine environment. As Australia’s Best Ski Resort for the past seven years, this development aims to continue delivering experiences that support this position.
