Ditch the Flick
In 2021 Queensland Country Bank Stadium partnered with the Tangaroa Blue Foundation to run an initiative to assist driving behavioural change among smokers in a bid to protect the Great Barrier Reef. Together we installed targeted directional signage, permanent and mobile cigarette butt bins, easily identifiable Designated Outdoor Smoking Area’s (DOSA) and generated conversations with guests. This was a positive and successful project, which is still implemented at the venue each event.
Education and Training
The venue encourages all staff to represent our commitment to sustainability. Training is provided to all permanent and casual staff through inductions and annual refresher training.
Queensland Country Bank Stadium has a representative on the Stadiums Queensland Green Crew team. This team is made up of representatives from each SQ venue and are tasked with identifying opportunities and initiatives to lessen the organisation's impact on the environment.
