We are your classroom for growth and transformation

We reshaped Tasmania’s story by focusing on reducing negative environmental effects and fostering positive impact.

  • Garden-to-plate

    Our gardens yield fresh, local produce for events, fostering biodiversity by mimicking natural systems. Enjoy wholesome menus without the carbon footprint.

  • Water Usage

    Previously, the mill used 200,000L of water from the Prosser River daily. Now our Beach Shacks rely on rainwater alone, with an additional 170,000L mains supply storage.

  • Waste Reduction

    We don’t offer straws with your drink, take-away food packaging is all compostable or biodegradable and paper napkins or hand-towels are unbleached and compostable.

  • Sustainability First

    We’re all about planting and growing. More than 25,000 endemic plants have been added throughout the site so far including dozens of rare and threatened species.

  • Renewable Energy

    We strive to minimise dependence on non-renewable energy. Our Beach Shacks run solely on solar power, with low-energy lighting and electric vehicles onsite.

  • On-site Nursery

    Our on-site nursery propagates over 2,000 plants annually with native grasses being reintroduced alongside original species that existed prior to European settlement.

A BEACON OF CHANGE

Spring Bay Mill leads with purpose, showcasing that sustainability is achievable even when it seems impossible.

More than a venue, it’s a mindset

At Spring Bay Mill, we're not just about meetings and memos - we're also plant enthusiasts with a knack for ecological regeneration and sustainable living. Picture this: more than 25,000 endemic plants, including rare and threatened species, sprouting up all over our site like a green revolution. And our landscapes? They're like luxury condos for echidnas, Tasmanian Devils, and wombats.

But it's not just about the wildlife. We offer a welcoming oasis for everyone who walks through our doors. And hey, if we can educate and inspire along the way, even better!
