The Old Woolstore is currently undertaking a comprehensive sustainability project to adapt to growing environmental pressures. For example, the hotel installed solar panels in 2025 and uses rainwater to wash bicycles via a 1,500-litre tank. Its mountain biking facilities, supported by public and private partners, encourage active and sustainable tourism. In addition, the hotel holds multiple awards for its outstanding contribution to the local community, highlighting its important social role. The Old Woolstore has also created Lala’s Garden, comprised of two dedicated native gardens to acknowledge Country and celebrate Tasmanian Aboriginal artists and storytellers.
