Recognizing the paramount importance of sustainability in development, We are proud to announce our decision to transform Hollywood Plaza into a carbon-neutral centre. This initiative is a pivotal component of our multimillion-dollar upgrade project, which seeks not only to elevate the shopping experience but also to establish Hollywood Plaza as one of the first carbon-neutral shopping destinations by 2050.
Central to this transformation are several environmentally-conscious measures. These include the installation of 4,000 solar panels, projected to generate 2.4M MWH of electricity, as well as the upgrade of our mechanical air-conditioning systems to utilize the latest R32 refrigerant. This transition to R32 refrigerant will not only significantly reduce energy consumption but also lead to a lower overall environmental impact. Additionally, we are integrating low-energy lighting and water-saving fixtures as part of our commitment to sustainable practices.
Our decision to pursue carbon neutrality reflects our deep-rooted commitment to environmental stewardship and community well-being. By aligning with South Australia’s environmental principles, we strive to pave the way for a greener future while enhancing the vitality of our local community and beyond.
