What we actually do.

It is a modest array and we would rather say so than round it up into a headline. It went on in 2016, when almost no Australian motorsport facility had solar at all, across the roofs of three service blocks at the Druitt North pit building — and it has since been extended into the AMIP precinct. Combined, the two carry 192 panels, avoiding around 60 tonnes of CO₂ a year. Its job is to offset the buildings that keep a race weekend running, and since 2022 the digital signage that replaced printed corflute. Continuing to invest in solar and EV charging is one of the Club’s published Key Programs.

Because there is very little published behind it, and padding it out would undermine everything else on this page. Water sits inside the Club’s monitoring commitment alongside energy, noise and air emissions rather than running as a program of its own. The one figure published is “40,000 kilolitres = 80% of total”, which appears in the Sustainable Event Guidelines and is quoted here exactly as written. There is no stormwater harvesting figure, no irrigation system and no consumption-reduction percentage, so none appears. When there is a measured series, this section will grow.

Because that is the most recent audit the Club has published, and we would rather show a dated figure than an undated one. Waste is audited quarterly by Closed Loop; the latest published quarter is Q2 2025, at 79.3% diversion. Every number on this page carries the period it covers for exactly this reason — so you can see how current it is instead of having to assume.

The Hyundai N EV Rapid Charging Station is open to every EV brand, not just Hyundai — but it is for motorsport charging only, so the general public cannot charge road cars there. There are four Type 2 plugs from two Tritium PKM 150 DC rapid chargers, at the end of the North Paddock by the final carports. Charging runs at 75c per kWh, paid by card with a $50 pre-authorisation and a $50 cap per session.

It becomes road. Any paper-based cup — even a plastic-lined one — can go into the Simply Cups receptacles at the Garage Café and around the venue. From there it is reprocessed into PAK-PAVE™, a road surface and lightweight concrete product. The roads to and from the Australian Motorsport Innovation Precinct on this site are made with it. 120,000 cups have been collected — the highest count in Western Sydney.

No — and this one surprises people. Compostable packaging is not accepted by any commercial composter in New South Wales under EPA restrictions, so despite the name it currently goes to landfill. Bagasse and PLA products are on our not-recommended list for that reason, and we are working with our caterer and food vendors to phase them out. Use cardboard, sustainable food-grade paper, wooden cutlery, paper cups, or rPET 1 and rPET 5 — all of which can actually be recovered here.

Every Venue Licence Agreement includes a sustainability annexure. You agree to work with the ARDC and Closed Loop on best practice for your event, to pass those expectations on to your partners, sponsors, categories, teams and competitors, to provide your environmental plan within 30 days, and to follow reasonable waste-management directives during your licence period. The Club is explicit that organisations are at very different stages — some have only just started — and asks what you are able to achieve rather than setting a single bar.

Because it is one of the documented reasons the diversion rate fell in 2023/24. Waste brought in from a previous event arrives unsorted and usually late, which means it cannot be separated and goes straight to landfill — taking the site’s numbers down with it and raising costs for everyone. It typically includes catering waste, polystyrene foam, pallets, soft and hard plastics, oil containers, carpet and metal. Take it with you, and dispose of it sustainably somewhere it can be.
