Nathan Costelloe

Costelloe was recognised for his environmental efforts at the resort including repurposing leftover timber from a pool deck refurbishment to build screens in the resort dining room, along with a bird-viewing platform. He has also set up a native nursery onsite and implemented a food waste recycling programme.

To recognise his efforts, Costelloe will have a native rainforest tree planted in his honour in Gunung Leuser National Park in North Sumatra, Indonesia. The park is one of two remaining habitats for Sumatran orang-utans.

Ramada Seven Mile Beach is an eco-inspired resort located right opposite Seven Mile Beach. Situated in a bushland setting, the resort features native gardens, resident wallabies and expansive grounds that reflect the rugged beauty of southern Tasmania.
