Biodiversity

Our existing practices aligned to delivering our Integrated Environmental Plan aim to reduce our impact on the environment, including preserving local biodiversity.

In operating and redeveloping our destinations we meet regulatory requirements interrelated with nature. We also
address issues aligned to biodiversity as they directly impact our current operations through our net zero strategy,
strategic water efficiency plan, strategic waste management plan, and Sustainable Development and Design Principles.

Collectively these include the following practices:

• reducing our energy use and emissions through optimising centre efficiency and renewable energy generation and procurement

• managing water use through water efficiency processes including smart metering alert programs and incorporating water-efficient fixtures and fittings in our amenities across our developments and upgrades

• mitigating our impact on local waterways through embedding Water Sensitive Urban Design principles in major developments and installing stormwater detention tanks alongside filtration systems when appropriate

• waste minimisation and recovery from operations and developments

• making material choices for developments and upgrades with an emphasis on embodied carbon, reuse and recycled content and chain of custody as set out in Sustainable Development and Design Principles.
