Green Sponsorship
A Green Investment in the Nannup Music Festival
The Nannup Music Club Inc would like to invite you to become a Green Sponsor of the Nannup Music Festival 2025. This is a special category designed to allow the Club to pursue its green targets of becoming the festival with the lightest environmental footprint in Australia. In 2017, the Nannup Music Festival was the State Winner of the Tidy Towns Awards, the category of Litter Prevention and Waste Management. We have been building on this ever since.
The Club is proud of our work to date, with our Green Steps Initiative and our bespoke Waste Wise Plan. This Plan was prepared in order for us to continue to deliver, monitor, assess and improve our self-managed Waste Wise Program. The WWP outlines the strategies for keeping the unique bushland setting of the Festival as pristine as possible by recycling, composting, and minimising waste to landfill. We have also set ourselves the target of becoming a plastic-free event.
The Festival has a dedicated Waste Wise Coordinator, who manages designated teams of volunteers in the areas of general waste, compostable waste, recycling, waste removal, Food Court management (dishwashing and waste removal), and venue management.
The journey towards reducing plastic began in 2014, when the Festival ceased ordering hundreds of plastic water bottles for artists, instead supplying stainless steel refillable bottles and water refilling stations. This strategy has progressed and grown each year and is now widely understood and accepted by both stallholders and everyone attending the Festival. A big attraction in the Food Court since 2016 has been the dishwashing and crockery stations, giving Festival patrons the opportunity to use crockery and cutlery and have it washed for re-use, eliminating the need for single-use plastics. This has grown over the last five years to gain unanimous support by patrons as well as great uptake by stallholders, together with our water refill stations, the dishwashing and crockery stations and the creation of a Waste Wise hub.
The Festival has implemented a number of strategies to keep the event plastic-free and low waste. Most of these are working well, albeit with adaptation and modification each year, while others are lacking in equipment which would greatly support our operations and ensure our event’s compliance with current event management guidelines. We are also aligning our strategies with the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030 and the WA Plastic Ban.
In order to put the Nannup Music Festival at the forefront of environmentally friendly and sustainable event management, we are seeking a small number of valued Green Sponsors to assist with the purchase of equipment and allow us to continue to improve the delivery of the Waste Wise program, which is based on our guiding principles of avoid, recover, recycle, reuse.
What Can I Do?
We are inviting you to invest $1,200 in our green projects, in exchange for 2x Adult Weekend Tickets with Camping and public acknowledgment of your support.
