Australia's Green Events Destination

‘Adelaide, South Australia is a truly sustainable destination, ready to promote and support your position on CSR’.

• We are at the forefront of renewable energy. South Australia has 51% of Australia’s wind capacity, 45% of the grid-connected solar power, and is home to 90% of geothermal energy exploration activity in Australia. Proudly, the state is the leader in storm water reuse and has the highest per capita level of recycled water use in Australia.

• Adelaide is eminently walkable and serviced by electric trams and the world's first solar-powered bus. The international airport is just a 10-minute drive from the central city, so compared with other cities visitors save fuel as well as time and money.

• Our major venues and operators can demonstrate absolute credibility and innovation with regard to water conservation, power saving and waste management. Leading the way are the Adelaide Convention Centre, with initiatives such as worm farms for reducing organic waste and tree generation programmes, whilst the Adelaide Event and Exhibition Centre proudly harvests 3.5 million litres of harvested rainwater and has the largest solar power installation of any commercial structure in the Southern Hemisphere.

• South Australia has more space protected for conservation than any other Australian state with more than 20% of the state protected as reserves for conservation.

• Delegates wishing to enjoy pre or post event touring experiences whilst in South Australia, may be pleased to note that 15% of Australia’s accredited eco-tourism operators are based in the state, with latest statistics indicating that more than 1 million ‘nature based’ visitors arrive each year.
