Activity 1A
Estimated Time 20 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to identify how to analyse current shifts 
in environmental legislation or regulations in relation to their potential
impact on the organisation
1. Identify a change/addition to current environmental legislation or
new environmental legislation. Explain in no more than 300 words
how this shift could potentially impact upon your organisation.
The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation
Act 1999 (EPBC Act) — Australia's national environment law — makes it
an offence for any person to take an action that is likely to have a
significant impact on matters protected by the Act, unless they have the
approval of the Australian environment minister. Protected matters are
matters of national environmental significance as well as the environment
of Commonwealth land.
The eight matters of national environmental significance protected by
the EPBC Act are:
 world heritage properties
 national heritage places
 wetlands of international importance (listed under the Ramsar
Convention)
 migratory species protected under international agreements
 listed threatened species and ecological communities
 Commonwealth marine areas
 the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, and
 nuclear actions (including uranium mines).
The EPBC Act also applies to actions that have an impact on the
environment on Commonwealth land,and to actions taken by the
Australian Government, and Australian Government agencies which are
likely to have a significant impact on the environment (anywhere).
How does the EPBC Act work?
The EPBC Act requires anyone who may be planning to take an action that
is likely to have a significant impact on a matter protected by the Act to
refer their project to the Australian environment minister to determine
whether or not approval is required. If an approval under the EPBC Act is
needed, it can only be given after the impacts of the project have been
assessed through a rigorous and transparent process run by the
Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, or a state,
territory or other Australian Government process accredited by the
Australian environment minister.
Local government is a key player in protecting Australia's environment, and
the EPBC Act does have implications for the operations, responsibilities,
employees and contractors of local governments.
Activity 1B
Estimated Time 1 hour
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to identify how to use best practice and 
benchmarking methods to determine current environmental management
performance
1. What are the three main objectives of using best practice and
benchmarking techniques?
Benchmarking allows an organization to identify and implement “best
practices” and develop improvement plans. Benchmarking is the practice of
comparing key metrics to that of other organizations.
2. Identify three best practice/benchmarking methods and explain each one
in no more than 250 words each.
1. Start early
If you want to be the best, it’s never too early to start benchmarking.
Studying your competition and knowing where and how you can improve is
like getting a map to your destination. The sooner you have the map in
hand, the sooner you can transition from reactive to strategic, and start
down the path to perfection. 
2. Have a timeline
Between researching competitors, analyzing where opportunities exist for
improvement, and implementing changes, benchmarking can demand a lot
of time. Limit the scope of your benchmarking to research and activities
that can be finished within a time period that mirrors the typical planning
cycle in your company.
3. Choose an appropriate peer group
The companies you study should, first and foremost, exhibit excellence.
However, location, size, industry, product category, and business model
should all be considered based on your goals.
3. Demonstrate that you can use a range of best practice and benchmarking 
methods in order to determine your organisation’s current environmental 
management performance. Write a report of no more than 500 words on 
your organisation’s current environmental management performance. 
Attach the report to your workbook.
Report
Grow Consultants specializes in leadership consultancy and has been operational for the last five years.
It offers a range of services which support companies to:
 assess leadership behavior of existing managers and their performance metrics
 design and implement customized leadership programs based on the assessment.
Services are offered Australia-wide, with consultants flying in to conduct specific training with companies,
as well as offering regular workshops at the company’s premises. To date, technology has not been
employed in training.
The company also writes and produces books on a range of topics about leadership. Currently the 
company has ten publications, which are published through a publishing house in the USA. The cost of
publishing the books and shipping to Australia is about the same as it would be to use a publisher in 
Australia.
The books are produced using non-recycled paper and are transported via air to Grow Management 
Consultants office. They are then distributed by post to customers from the Grow Management 
Consultants’ office. As sales have been slow for the books, the company has also been exploring options 
for e-books.
The company was established by its Principal Consultants, Paul Burns and Sammy Martin, both of whom are 
Directors. The company also employs four Senior Consultants, an Operations Manager, an Office Manager, 
Administration Officer and a Receptionist.
The office building is owned by the company and is located in an outer lying metropolitan suburb. All staff 
drive to work in their own cars and there is on-site parking. The nearest railway station is 10 minutes’ walk 
from the office.
Paul Burns has recently attended a Sustainable Business workshop and is keen to implement sustainable 
practices throughout the business. The strategic plan has also been recently updated and has been influenced
by Paul’s attendance at the workshop.
However, there are no specific actions indicated in the Strategic Plan and so, at present, the statement 
appears to be paying lip service only.
Paul is keen to develop a sustainability policy and procedures that address all aspects of the business including, as 
a minimum: travel, purchasing, office energy use, office supplies, and cleaning. However, Paul also has specifically 
stated that he does not want to incur costs in developing policy and procedure and that all the work must be 
developed in-house, therefore consultants must not be used.
Current issues and practices within the organization are as follows;
Vision
We provide professional ability to our leaders, allies and professionals in order to empower them into a 
greener and more sustainable world.
Mission
“We are committed, as a business, to the well-being of both economic and ecological systems, of 
both humans and other living things.”
Important issues
 There is older style florescent lighting in all offices, staff room and bathroom. These lights are 
often left on after the work day has finished.
 There are no formal energy usage procedures for staff or signage to remind staff.
 The company does not have a policy for purchasing equipment and buys equipment when 
required; often purchasing whatever is on special at the time.
 The two principal consultants have company vehicles. Both vehicles are now five years old and 
need to be upgraded.
 Staff buy stationary requirements on an ad hoc basis, often resulting in large stocks of items 
such as notepads and A grade printer paper.
 There is a waste bin and recycling bins, which are mostly used correctly.
 The company hosts regular meetings and workshops. Catering is provided by an external caterer 
with all plates and cups supplied (plastic).
 The office is cleaned once a week by contract cleaners who use regular cleaning products.
Activity 1C
Estimated Time 30 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to identify how to analyse project
environmental obligations and management requirements
1. For one project you are working on, or have access to, list all legislation,
regulations and standards that underwrite your environmental 
obligations and management requirements.
 Environment Protection Act 2017
 Pollution of Waters by Oils and Noxious Substances Act 1986
 National Environment Protection Council (Victoria) Act 1995
 Environment Protection Regulations 2021
 Environment Protection Transitional Regulations 2021
 Environment Protection (Management of Tunnel Boring Machine
Spoil) Regulations 2020
2. List six facets that environmental obligations and management
requirements may revolve around.
Five basic disciplines generally contribute to the field of environmental
health: environmental epidemiology, toxicology, exposure science,
environmental engineering, and environmental law.
3. For one project you are working on, or have access to, analyse at least 
three of the project’s environmental obligations and management 
requirements. In no more than 250 words, summarise the obligations and
requirements and what your organisation will need to do to meet them.
Environment Protection Act2017
The Environment Protection Act 2017, as significantly amended by
the Environment Protection Amendment Act 2018 and other Acts, came
into effect on 1 July 2021.
It includes environmental obligations and protections for all Victorians and 
changes Victoria’s focus for environment protection and human health to a
prevention-based approach. It includes the general environmental
duty (GED).
The Act gives EPA enhanced powers and tools to prevent and minimise the
risks of harm to human health and the environment from pollution and
waste. It also provides EPA with the ability to pursue stronger sanctions
and penalties to hold environmental polluters to account. 
Pollution of Waters by Oils and Noxious
Substances Act 1986
The purpose of the Pollution of Waters by Oils and Noxious Substances
Act 1986 (POWBONS Act) is to protect the sea and other waters from
pollution by oil and noxious substances and to implement the International
Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 (the Marpol

https://www.epa.vic.gov.au/about-epa/laws
Convention).
EPA and the Department of Transport jointly administer this Act.
National Environment Protection Council (Victoria)
Act 1995
The National Environment Protection Council (Victoria) Act 1995 is
complementary legislation to the other states and the Commonwealth. This
Act establishes the National Environment Protection Council (NEPC). It is
made up of a Minister from the Commonwealth and each State and
Territory. This is to ensure that people are equally protected from air, water
soil and noise pollution, no matter where they live in Australia.

https://www.epa.vic.gov.au/about-epa/laws
Sustainability benefits
 Cost savings – by spending less on raw materials, energy, water and waste management.
 Business reputation – people may be more likely to support a business that cares about its impact on the
environment.
 Resource recovery – reducing, reusing and recycling is important for the environment and can also be profitable.
 Work health and safety – reduced use of industrial chemicals and less waste can improve workplace health and safety.
 Legal compliance – your business needs to meet certain environmental protection laws.
Business planning, opportunities and sustainability
We should include following objectives into business planning:
- Replace lights to energy saving one. Also install light sensor in the office which will help to save electricity when no
one in the office.
- Need to replace old cars with gas cars
- Buy stationary order once in a 3 moths
- Buy reusable cutlery and plates, bowls
- Ask cleaning company to use eco-friendly products
Example sustainability policies and procedures
Report on the three Sustainability policies and procedures that you have identified and the areas they address.
Life cycle mapping
Identifying the stages in your life cycle Identify the key stages/processes in the production of your product
or service and record these in the linear life cycle.
Raw Material, Production/ manufacture, Sale & distribution, Use, End of life
Lifecycle map
A lifecycle map is a qualitative tool which can provide an increased understanding of the product lifecycle
and some of the sustainability benefits and impacts associated with each stage. It involves drawing up a
process tree, or 'map', of the product lifecycle by asking a series of questions.
Lifecycle matrix
Is another qualitative tool that can help the user to think through the sustainability impacts and benefits
at each stage of the lifecycle. It can be used in conjunction with the lifecycle map to build knowledge
about the lifecycle impacts and benefits of a product and opportunities to enhance sustainability through
better design.
Activity 1E
Estimated Time 25 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to identify how to seek advice from
senior management concerning implementation of plan as required
1. In no more than 200 words, explain when and why you should seek 
advice from senior management concerning implementation of plans.
 They can help you to understand your risk profile. Are you
comfortable with potential losses? Do you need guaranteed
returns? An advisor will take into account multiple factors to
understand you- the person before they translate this
information to you- the investor.
 They can help you develop a financial plan for your financial
goals and can guide you on how to achieve them. This will
take into account your age, your family circumstances, your
income, time left for the goal, etc.
 They can help you prepare and protect your savings and
investments against the scourge of inflation. Your advisor can
help you understand the ‘real value’ of everything that you’re
doing for today and tomorrow.
 They can help you manage asset allocation and
diversification to deal with volatility well. Once the advisor has
gained insight into your risk / reward profile and your goals,
they can provide more complex advice around asset
allocation and portfolio diversification. This will help you deal
with volatility well.
 They are financial experts themselves and can help conduct
professional research. Given their knowledge and
experience, they will be able to recommend the right
investment products to you with a rational justification behind
every proposed recommendation.
 They can help you to remain prepared for any emergency
situations- whether via channelizing your savings or via the
insurance route.
 They can also manage some aspects of administration if you
have time constraints. If you are short on time, advisors can
help to manage some of the administrative burden involved in
switching and transferring funds.
2. List four interpersonal skills that you may use when seeking advice from
senior management concerning implementation of plans.
Most interpersonal skills can be grouped under one of four main forms of
communication: verbal, listening, written and non-verbal communication.
Some skills such as recognition of stress and attitude are important to all
forms of interpersonal communication.

that have been submitted? Summarise each in no more than 50 words.
Ministers deal with a variety of casework in relation to the planning system
and have a role in confirming various legislative orders and directions.
Applications for planning permission, listed building consent and
conservation area consent are dealt with firstly by the local planning
authority. Scottish Ministers can intervene in the determination of a
planning application where a matter of genuine national interest may be at
stake.
Ministers only intervene occasionally because local authorities have an
important decision-making role in the future development of their areas.
Ministers can only intervene before the planning authority's decision letter
is issued.
