Sustainability

Sustainability at Bli Bli House At Bli Bli House we are committed to practises which meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. To us, sustainability is not just about looking after our natural environment – it is also about considering the social and economic impact of what we do and how we do it. In particular we aim to provide a tourism experience that focuses on protecting the environment and allows our visitors to travel responsibly, with little impact.

Water conservation

  • Dual flush toilets with low volume water flush.
  • Installation of underground dripper system for gardens.
  • All garden areas mulched to conserve water in the soil.
  • Hardy plants and natives are chosen for the garden. A rainforest feel has been established throughout.
  • A low energy front loading washing machine is used in the cottage, using only 47 litres of water per wash.
  • Most laundry is air dried in the sun, to reduce the use of electric dryers.
 

Energy consumption

  • In June 2012 an 4.2 kva Solar Power System was installed on the roof of the cottage
  • The house guest wing and cottage are designed with an east west orientation and deep verandahs on the north and south sides. In summer no direct sun enters the rooms. Combined with the thick insulated walls and the high ceilings, ambient room temperatures are easily maintained in all seasons minimising the need for excessive heating and cooling.
  • Ceiling insulation in all areas of the house, guest wing and cottage.
  • LED globes throughout the house, guest wing and cottage resulting in 86% less energy usage than the halogen globes they replaced.
  • Sun dried linen!
  • On demand gas hot water system ensuring water is only heated as used.
  • Sensor lights on the entrance driveway.
  • We encourage our guests to help us be environmentally friendly by turning off air-conditioning and lights when leaving their accommodation.

 

Waste management

Bottles, cans, plastics and papers are all collected and recycled
