The park in Sydney focuses on water efficiency and sustainability by saving 50 million litres of water by using rainwater, recycled water and special filtration and irrigation technologies in the initial design and construction phase. Another initiative is that the park in Gold Coast recycles into separate bins of beverage packing and cardboards, diverting from landfill along with Queensland Government's "Do the Right Thing, Use the Right Bin" message.
In addition, empty Coke and Mt Franklin water bottles went to specified bins. Coca-Cola donated 5 cents for every bottle collected and assisted in further training of lifesavers and surf safety campaign in June 2010. The recycling was also implemented to all Warner Village Theme Parks in Queensland. As a result, the park changed behaviours of their customers, including young generation that will take charge later on to adopt positive habits at homes, schools and etc.
Overall, they have significantly reduced carbon dioxide emissions, which I find every impressive. It also shows even contributing to areas of sustainability that doesn't have directly relate to the function while working together with the government. other corporations and getting the community involved can create a ripple effect.
