Environmental Initiatives:
Our goal at Crystal Creek Meadows, Kangaroo Valley accommodation is to minimise the negative impacts of our business and to improve the property’s environment. After only 12 months of regeneration, we now have several wombats, echidnas, platypus and a goanna living by our creek. We expect this trend to continue and offer future guests the rare opportunity to enjoy a break with a tourism business which is returning much of the property to its original environment.
Energy
- Our cottages use our own solar power
- 100% Accredited Green Energy
We have developed an Environmental Impact Plan and apply energy saving strategies to our guest accommodation.
Water
- We are self sufficient in water and waste water treatment. Have minimised waste, follow biodiversity conservation and have planted over 700 native trees.
Wildlife
- The establishment of a bird sanctuary, minimal noise and lighting disturbance strategies have also been launched -critical for Australia’s nocturnal wildlife. Our business donates funds to local environmental groups including endangered animals and wildlife care. We are active members of the local tourist association and have produced information guides to further enhance visitor experience and awareness of the environment.
Chemical use
-We make all our own aromatherapy toiletries and spa treats to heighten our guest’s experience and understanding of the “power of plants” using all natural recipes many of which includes Australian essential oils.
Local Initiatives and education
We have also devoted our time to the Pioneer Museum Park, in the village, which is the only exhibit of early settler life in the greater Sydney metropolitan region. Where we can we only buy local produce and employ local trades person.- Crystal Creek Meadows is also an active supporter of the Friends of the Brush Tailed Rock Wallaby and World Vision Sponsor-a-Child and World Vision Water for Life
- A carefully designed walk lets children discover the habitat of some of our local wildlife who live on our property. There is also a drawing competition and they can discover more about our local endangered wildlife through a presentation of the Brush Tailed Rock Wallaby.
Further Initiatives
- Tree Planting: As part of our environmental sustainability policy we have planted more than 700 native trees.
- Creek regeneration: Our new project is regeneration of the perennial streams and creek. So far we have had considerable success in providing habitats for important native animals.
-Carbon Offset Program
We operate as a carbon neutral business. We use only 100% renewable green energy, select carbon neutral fire wood from certified state forests supplies, implement a waste management policy to maximise efficiencies and have introduced our own carbon offset programme.
We offer guests the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions from their return journey to Kangaroo Valley. We do this by planting trees on our property. And to enhance their value we only select local native tree species and plant appropriate understory plants to improve the biodiversity.
