At The Old Clare Hotel we’re choosing better for our customers, our communities, and our planet.

Heritage Conservation: Adaptive reuse of our two original heritage buildings avoided the site clearing and embodied carbon associated with a new build.
Smart Energy Management: Connection to the Clean Peak Central Park trigeneration plant utilizes recovered waste heat for our electricity, space heating, and cooling.
Water Conservation: Partnership with Altogether’s water centre supplies recycled water for toilet flushing and rooftop irrigation, complemented by low-flow fixtures and a linen reuse program.
Waste Reduction: Implementation of ten dedicated recycling streams across the property and a weekly food rescue partnership with OzHarvest to donate safe surplus food.
Elimination of Single-Use Plastics: Transition to refillable pump dispensers for room amenities and aluminium cans for water, ensuring zero banned single-use plastics across our operations.
Sustainable Sourcing: Commitment to local NSW growers, eco-friendly certified products, and seafood sourced according to the Australian Marine Conservation Society Good Fish Guide.
