At Equestrian Land Developments Pty Ltd (ELD), we understand that every equestrian facility we build exists in harmony with both the horses and the surrounding environment. Our commitment to sustainability is embedded in every stage of our construction process, from design and material selection to ongoing maintenance.
Natural Materials for Horse and Rider Safety
We prioritise the use of natural, high-quality construction materials that:
- Reduce the risk of microfibres, synthetic dust, and harmful particles affecting horses, riders, and staff.
- Minimize environmental impact on soil, water, and local ecosystems.
- Maintain long-lasting performance, ensuring arenas remain safe and durable with minimal chemical intervention.
Eco-Conscious Construction Practices
- Responsible earthworks: We carefully manage site excavation and works to prevent erosion, sediment runoff, and disruption to surrounding habitats.
- Water management: Our arena designs incorporate efficient drainage solutions to minimise water wastage and prevent contamination of surrounding land and waterways.
- Energy efficiency: Wherever possible, we use low-energy machinery and sustainably sourced materials to reduce our carbon footprint.
- Waste reduction: Materials are carefully sourced, stored, and recycled where possible to minimize waste.
Sustainability Beyond the Build
- Our facilities are designed for longevity, reducing the need for frequent reconstruction or resurfacing.
- Post-construction maintenance solutions use methods that are safe for both the horses and the environment.
- We actively support environmental and conservation initiatives, contributing a portion of revenue to organisations such as Sea Shepherd, Greenfleet, OzHarvest, and The Great Barrier Reef Foundation.
