Epping Plaza Water Conservation

As part of our ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, Epping Plaza has recently undertaken the following measures to promote water conservation within the centre:

• Installation of 240,000 litre rainwater catchment tank for use in irrigation systems & centre restrooms as part of Stage 3 development.
• Fitting flow-restricting devices on restroom tapware.
• Installation of automatic time-controlled tapware in restrooms.
• Landscaping in Stage 3 using drought-resistant species.
• Displaying water-saving information in centre restrooms.
• Distribution of shower timers to shoppers during Christmas shopping events.
• Participation in Department of Sustainability & Environment’s Stormwater & Urban Water Conservation Project.

Centre retailers have also been encouraged to embrace the “Every Drop Counts” message by:

• Reporting tap, toilet & hose reel leaks to Centre Management.
• Turning off taps when not in use.
• Implement water-saving processes (ie: only run dishwashers on full load).
• Encourage staff to submit water saving ideas.
