Shellharbour Workers' Club prides itself on leading the way to a better environment and more responsible business practices. Since 2003, Shelly's has implemented several environmental initiatives and is committed to continuing down the green path with any future changes to the Club.

Highlights of our environmental program include:

• The Balcony's eastern and northern roofs incorporate solar panels that generate up to 22 kilowatts of electricity in full sunlight. In a year, they’ll generate about 25,000 kilowatt-hours – enough to power 4 typical Australian houses.
• Shelly's rainwater capture and reuse system harvests rain from the club’s massive roof. The six tanks under the verandah store 160,000 litres.
• The club's industrial-size worm farm has the capacity to handle more than a tonne of food waste every week. This provides an environmentally friendly disposal method that avoids methane generation.
• Shelly's has committed to removing all plastic bags within the Club for such things as meat trays, take away food and bottle shop purchases.
