Case Study
Shellharbour City Council leading the way and reducing their
`ecological footprint¨
Supporting sustainable living by reducing plastic waste
Shellharbour City Council is committed to being a leader in
environmental sustainability.
In 2013 Council decided to purchase a number of aquafil? portable
water bottle refill stations to use at major community events. The aim
of the refill stations was to support the local community in practicing
sustainable living, reduce waste to landfill and reduce stormwater
pollution.
In 2012 Council took advantage of a funding opportunity from Keep
Australia Beautiful through its Beverage Container Recycling
Community Grants, to install a permanent aquafil? water refill station
and drinking fountain at a popular picnic area at Reddall Reserve, on
the foreshore of Lake Illawarra.
Both initiatives encourage the consumption of tap water, which has a
much smaller ecological footprint than bottled water. These initiatives
also encourage people to bring their own drink bottles and embrace
the `refuse, reuse¨ philosophy rather than the `throw away¨ mentality.
By filling up reusable water bottles, Council and the community are
reducing the amount of plastic waste that ultimately ends up in
landfill, water ways and oceans.
The aquafil? units come with a range of optional features and water
meters were installed on both permanent and portable refill stations to
calculate the ongoing environmental benefits associated with drinking
tap water instead of bottled beverages.
In addition to the display panels which allow for advertising on the
refill station itself, Council has also purchased flags which read `Water
Refill¨ to draw attention to the units at events.
^We have only recently started using our aquafil refill stations and
already it's great to see the environmental benefits accumulating as
each bottle refilled at the station is potentially one less disposable
beverage bottle that will be consumed.
^We've also found children have really enjoyed the novelty of refilling
their water bottles from the special refill station, ̄ says Alison Mellor,
Environment Officer Shellharbour City Council.
Council has also adopted the Illawarra Regional Food Strategy which
describes how Illawarra Councils can work together towards a vision
for a vibrant, sustainable local food system that is resilient,
prosperous, fair and secure. Making fresh drinking water available in
public spaces is one of the actions identified in this strategy and the
provision of water refill stations helps achieve this action.
