Belmont Forum recognises the importance of our environment!

We have developed an on-site Environmental Committee who are responsible for identifying environmental issues at the centre and implementing improvement strategies to reduce their impact on our environment. 

Belmont Forum has an ongoing commitment to improving the sustainability of our environment.

Over the past 5 years the centre has implemented an extensive collection of environmental initiatives and practises that have resulted in the reduction of emissions and wastage from the centre.

Here are a few key achievements:

• From the 1st July 2005 to 30th June 2006, the centre has recycled a total of 222,230 kg or the weight of approximately 247 average-sized family cars.


• Over the past four years, the centre’s water consumption has decreased by 45.6% (29,461,000 litres). This equates to a saving of approximately 491 average-sized back yard swimming pools.


• Belmont Forum is the biggest user of renewable energy in WA with 10% of power coming from renewable sources. This results in a saving of 1,737 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, which is equivalent to removing 435 cars from our roads each year.

In August 2008 volunteers from Belmont Forum, City of Belmont, Edith Cowan University, Jones Lang LaSalle, The Salvation Army, Synergy and the Water Corporation all pitched in their time to take part in Earthbeat Day 2008.

Earthbeat Day is a three year sustainability project, initiated by Belmont Forum’s Earthbeat Committee in August 2006. Since then many generous volunteers have helped in planting over 7,000 seedlings. This group of volunteers assembled in late August for the final stage of this areas planting for Earthbeat Day 2008.

On Wednesday 31st October 2007 Belmont Forum was awarded the WA Small Business Environment Management Award as sponsored by Edith Cowan University.

This award recognises the achievements, initiatives and ongoing committment Belmont Forum has to best environmental practices.

On August 31st Belmont Forum celebrated its second Earthbeat Day by returning to Redcliffe Park with over 30 volunteers to plant an additional 2000 seedlings and rejuventae those which were planted in 2006.

This purchase has displaced 1,685 tonnes of CO2 emisions from the atmosphere. This is the equivilent to removing 525 cars from our roads for a whole year.

Belmont Forum Shopping Centre is WA's largest renewable energy customer.

Belmont Forum has an ongoing commitment to the local community and to the environment. Becoming a Green Power Property means that we now take 10% of our electricity from natural power sources, helping us to strengthen our commitment to the future of WA.
