Sustainability, Accessibility & Community Impact
A welcoming venue.
North Coast Hotel Group operates a diverse portfolio of hotels across The Coffs Harbour and Grafton region of New South Wales. Across our venues, sustainability, accessibility and community impact are embedded into everyday operations, ensuring our venues remain welcoming, responsible and connected to the communities they serve.
Sustainability & Environmental Practices
We take a practical, venue-led approach to sustainability, focusing on initiatives that reduce environmental impact while supporting efficient, long-term operations. We continually review opportunities for further improvements as venues are upgraded, refurbished or expanded.
Key initiatives across our venues include:
Operational waste reduction
Structured kitchen practices and waste monitoring help reduce food overproduction, minimise landfill waste across food, beverage and accommodation operations.
Packaging & materials
Compostable takeaway packaging and reduced reliance on single-use plastics are being implemented progressively across our venues.
Energy efficiency
Ongoing upgrades to refrigeration, bar equipment, lighting and accommodation services are improving energy performance and reducing consumption.
Regional supply chains
Strong partnerships with local producers, suppliers and breweries support regional businesses while reducing transport-related emissions.
Accessibility & Inclusion
North Coast Hotel Group is committed to providing inclusive, welcoming spaces for people of all abilities, backgrounds and identities.
Our venues regularly host families, older guests, people with disability, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Teams are trained to respond to guest needs in real time, ensuring comfort, safety and respectful service.
Accessibility considerations are incorporated into future planning, refurbishments and operational improvements.
Common accessibility features across our venues include:
- Step-free or ramp access to main service areas where possible
- Flexible seating across indoor and outdoor spaces
- Multiple service points to reduce congestion during peak periods
- Accessible accommodation options at selected venues
- Family-friendly and all-ages programming alongside evening entertainment

Community & Economic Impact
We care about the local community
Our venues play an important role in their local communities and visitor economies.
Across the group, our operations support:
- Local employment opportunities and career development
- Regional suppliers and service providers
- A year-round calendar of live music, events and community activities
