Kardinia Park Stadium Trust are proud to be part of Sports Environment Alliance (SEA), strengthening the growing movement to drive environmental sustainability across sport and recreation.
Alongside Geelong Football Club, Kardinia Park Stadium Trust is committed to reducing environmental impact and delivering more sustainable outcomes across the GMHBA Stadium precinct, one of Australia’s most iconic regional sporting venues.
Kardinia Park Stadium Trust brings a strong track record of environmental action within GMHBA Stadium.
Ben Scott, General Manager – Corporate Services and Major Projects, Kardinia Park Stadium Trust, said:
“Kardinia Park Stadium Trust is delighted to be part of Sports Environment Alliance alongside Geelong Football Club.
We are focused on minimising our environmental impact, and being part of the Alliance strengthens our efforts. Having the opportunity to share knowledge with other members, network with like-minded organisations, and highlight our sustainability commitments and actions are key benefits.”
Over several years, the Trust has implemented a range of initiatives to improve sustainability outcomes, including the installation of LED sports lighting, development of an energy management system, installation of more than 900 solar panels on the Joel Selwood Stand, and the rollout of an improved waste management system. These initiatives support ongoing reductions in energy and waste across the precinct.
SEA CEO Adam Cheyne said the addition of both organisations highlights the growing leadership emerging from regional sport.
“Geelong Football Club and Kardinia Park Stadium Trust are showing what’s possible when clubs and venues work together with a shared purpose.
Their approach demonstrates how sustainability can be embedded into both operations and infrastructure, delivering real outcomes for their community while contributing to broader sector progress. We’re thrilled to welcome them to the Alliance.”
