Impact Partners

When selecting our impact partners, we focus on five key areas:

  • Marine care and preservation
  • Waste minimisation
  • Regenerative considered development
  • Environmental stewardship
  • Carbon offsetting

A new sustainability initiative actively involving members in securing a healthy environment for those living and enjoying Lake Macquarie for years beyond ours to come.


Since our origins in 1922 Belmont 16s Sailing Club has proven to be a pillar in Lake Macquarie
with a shared vision to create a positive impact in our community and the environment that we
utilise and enjoy daily.

With a new Centenary in our chapter we are moving towards a responsible and mindful commitment structure to care for our lake and land.

Always striving to act in the best interest of our Members, our Team and our Community, by introducing Impact Partnerships we are actively inviting like-minded partnerships with local not-for-profit organisations who can help to achieve our impact objectives and deliver our promise to future generations.

In acknowledging that an individual’s conscious choices are the most valuable asset in sustainable progression within Impact Partners, our aim is to give our patrons the opportunity to contribute through small actions, like selecting to purchase a beverage that in turn donates a percentage of the price to a pre-determined workable organisation or project.

If you know of a local sustainable not-for-profit group, initiative or program who have a project in mind and require funding please send details along with a brief overview of funding requirements to info@16s.com.au.
