SUSTAINABILITY
At Kwinana Marketplace we want to ensure the shopping centre and the community that we operate in, are resilient and able to thrive. We are aiming towards a net zero carbon emission target by 2030, which includes reducing water usage and increasing the amount of waste diverted from landfill.
SOLAR PROJECT UPDATE
In February 2022 works commenced on the installation of solar panels on the roof of Kwinana Marketplace.
These panels will generate renewable energy that will be used on site, reducing harmful carbon emissions in the atmosphere generated by site operations.
Installation works have now been completed and we are looking forward to making the switch to solar power soon.
Solar Panels
From 21st February 2022 we will be installing solar panels on the roof of the shopping centre.
These panels will generate renewable energy that will be used on site, reducing harmful carbon emissions in the atmosphere generated by site operations.
Car Charging Bays
In 2022 we will be installing charging bays for battery powered cars.
Our charging stations will eventually run on the renewable energy generated by our solar panels.
