Our Environmental Commitment

Centennial Park has a culturally embedded commitment to ensuring that all of our business activities are performed in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner and is enshrined from our Strategic Plan and beyond.

Centennial Park’s Environmental Plan sets out our approach to ecologically sustainable development within Centennial Park.  The plan has established six key environmental objectives that will guide environmental management for the medium to long term:

1.     A focus on ecologically sustainable development.

2.     Sustainable waste management focussing on waste minimisation and resource recovery.

3.     Actively addressing climate change through low energy use.

4.     Managing and using water resources sustainably.

5.     Effective conservation and enhancement of existing natural resources.

6.     Actively supporting third party suppliers with demonstrated environmentally sustainable practices.

Centennial Park prides itself on its innovation and proactive approaches to environmental management and is recognised as a leader in environmental management within the cemetery industry both nationally and internationally.  Despite our positive environmental track record however, many challenges still exist which we have attempted to address in this Plan.

As a regional subsidiary of Local Government and a provider of community services, Centennial Park has a key role to play in achieving ecologically sustainable development and management by being part of a general change in mindset within the community and will continue to lead by example in making this transition.
