Sustainability
Community Engagement & Education
Our festival is not just an event, but an integral part of the local Garbicz community who we support by employing locals, sourcing local resources, and encouraging the locals to set up businesses on-site.
Plantlife and Wildlife
Committed to the flora and fauna of our site, we’re actively involved in conservation efforts, including tree planting and habitat preservation.
Ecosystem Conservation
The crystalline lake, a central feature of our festival site, boasts a unique eco-balance of freshwater shells and fish life. We are committed to preserving its water quality and ensuring the continued wellbeing of its aquatic life.
Eco-friendly Infrastructure
We’ve established an eco-conscious infrastructure including a grid-connected power supply eliminating the need for generators, fresh and wastewater systems and permanent toilet and shower blocks.

Travel Light, Travel Right
Consider using public transport, car-sharing, or our Bassliner service to get to Garbicz, reducing your carbon footprint in the process.
Use Tentation and Tenting Lakeside
Not only does our Tentation provide convenience, it also greatly reduces the potential waste from disposable camping gear. Let’s create less rubbish and make more memories!
Respect the Environment
The festival site is home to many rare and threatened species. Please stay on designated paths, do not litter, and respect the native flora and fauna.
Bring Reusable Items
Pack reusable water bottles, cups, and cutlery. Say no to single-use plastics.
Practice Waste Separation
Use the provided bins to separate your waste for recycling. If in doubt, ask one of our friendly ‘Trashies’.
Conserve Resources
Minimise water usage and turn off any electrical devices when not in use. Every little helps in our collective effort to be more sustainable!
Support Local Vendors
By buying local produce, you’re supporting the local economy and reducing your carbon footprint from food miles.
Be Mindful of Noise Pollution
Respect the quiet hours to maintain harmony with the local wildlife and residents.
Leave No Trace
When you pack up to leave, ensure you take all your belongings with you. Leave only footprints, take only memories.
