Sustainability at the
Heart of Australia
Caring for Country
Take pride in your stay with us, knowing you’re not only experiencing the finest natural and cultural wonders, but conserving their richness for generations to come. Our sustainable approach to business means we tread lightly and care for our Country.
Energy Efficiency
Your stay at Ayers Rock Resort is powered by the sun. Our Tjintu Solar Field provides up to 45% of the Resort’s average energy needs. That’s the same energy equivalent of around 150 Aussie households.
Waste Management
Our minimisation program helps the Resort recycle and reduce material waste where possible to minimise rubbish sent to landfill.
Building Management
Our systems allow us to accurately control heating and cooling, enabling us to use our resources more efficiently.
Wildlife for life
- Supporting the work of the Anangu Traditional Owners to protect native wildlife.
- Raising awareness of the importance of wildlife conservation among guests and staff.
- Reducing the impact of tourism on wildlife. Such as protecting our endangered Tjakura (Great Desert Skink) population, especially when building new infrastructure.
- The longest running wildlife and threatened species monitoring program in the region—an award-winning endeavour.
