Spring Bay Mill has undergone a metamorphosis from an industrial space into a world class performance, conference and functions environment with a strong focus on sustainability. Many of the industrial areas and site buildings, have being extensively and
sensitively redesigned and landscaped.
The landscape has been planted with local endemic native plants in creatively designed landscapes that establish habitat for native creatures, and inspiration and learning for all who visit. Various onsite revegetation programs are underway which also include revegetation programs in the local community along the east coast as far north as the towns of Bicheno and Coles Bay.
The site also boasts a plant production nursery, highly experienced and qualified horticulturists and the support of a large volunteer community.
SBM has recently taken home 3 major awards for design and sustainability in the 2021 Tasmanian Architecture Awards.
The management behind the project are very focused on environmental sustainability, natural systems and conservation of natural environments. They strongly believe in supporting the community, and they actively engage through their direct support of various education and community projects.
They also fund the 24 Carrot program, which supports the schools organic garden, a technical assistant, and the food education component at the local Triabunna District School.
