BULLER COMMITTED TO
BEING GREEN
Mt Buller works actively and diligently
to protect and conserve the resort’s
beautiful alpine environment.
This is achieved through project management
systems supporting habitat improvement, resource
conservation, renewable energy use, recycling,
composting and other forms of waste reduction.
WHAT’S NEW
In a first for an Australian Alpine Resort, Mt Buller
Mt Stirling Resort Management is installing a
micro-hydroelectricity system which will supply all of
the energy needs for Mt Stirling in a sustainable and
environmentally sound way. The micro-hydroelectricity
system will draw energy from the Falls Creek adjacent
to Telephone Box Junction (TBJ) supplying power for
the Resort Management Office, Ski Hire and Ski School,
Stirling Café, Ski Patrol Base and Public Facilities.
The project is due for completion within the next
12 months.
ENVIRONMENT INITIATIVES
Mt Buller continues to drive a number of environmental
campaigns, encouraging the community and visitors to
be actively aware of, and involved in, the conservation
of the alpine environment.
Resort Management is undertaking several
environmental initiatives and supports research
projects that aim to have a positive impact on habitat
protection, biodiversity and longevity of snow.
• Keep Winter Cool - carbon reduction campaign
• Recovery of the Mountain Pygmy-possum population
• The Living Bin - organics management system
