Sustainability at Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort & Sunshine Coast Convention Centre: A Commitment to Greener Business Events
“Wunya” and welcome to Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort & Sunshine Coast Convention Centre—where natural beauty meets our dedication to sustainability. Set within the lush Green Corridor and Twin Waters between beach and river, our resort is the ideal destination for business events that are not only impactful but environmentally responsible. We are fully committed to preserving the environment and integrating sustainable practices into all our events.
For over 30 years, Accor has been at the forefront of sustainable development in the hospitality industry. From innovative construction methods and responsible daily operations to supporting a sustainable food chain, our global objective is to achieve 100% eco-certification across all hotels by 2026. At Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort & Convention Centre, we continue to lead this charge, ensuring that sustainability remains a core value in everything we do.
In our efforts, we have successfully eliminated single-use plastics in all guest-facing areas and are extending this initiative to our back-of-house operations wherever possible. We believe that memorable business events can also be environmentally responsible. Our “Containers for Change” initiative empowers event attendees to recycle beverage containers, reducing waste while supporting community programs. Every container recycled is a step toward a cleaner, greener future.
We have also invested in advanced waste management technology. Our Waste Master system converts food waste into a virtually odour-free, reusable material without requiring additives, bacteria, or water. This innovation allows us to significantly reduce the volume of event waste that ends up in landfills, demonstrating our commitment to responsible waste management.
Sustainability is also reflected in the food we serve. We prioritise sourcing ingredients from local Sunshine Coast suppliers, ensuring our menus highlight the region’s vibrant flavours while supporting local farmers and reducing food miles. Our Signature Day Delegate Package showcases the finest products from our Sunshine Pantry suppliers, offering a refined culinary experience that celebrates the best of local produce.
Our commitment doesn’t stop there. We are proud to partner with Reforest to support Visit Sunshine Coast’s reforestation efforts in our region. Through this initiative, we actively contribute to restoring local ecosystems and combating climate change by offsetting the carbon footprint of our business events. By hosting your event at Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort & Convention Centre, you play a vital role in these meaningful environmental efforts while enjoying a seamless and sustainable experience.
