Environmental Harm
Poor environmental management creates
impact on the surrounding environment. This
is because pollution sources tend to rise with
development of urban centres, which in turn
contaminate the air, soil and water.
 Install all measures and equipment
to control harmful effects.
 Goals targeting zero environmental
infringement.
 Effective environmental management
 Lower Pollution level.
 The framework monitors the
environmental problems.
Handling of Flammable Liquids
Nullifying the chance of spillage
Spilling of liquid chemicals and contaminated
water into the nearby water bodies.
The company has been able to implement well-
constructed water storage. The waste disposal
technology helped in the reduction of
environmental pollution.
Reduction of air pollution Established greenhouse
gas emissions reduction, efficient use of
energy.
 Boral has a an effective layout
design, orientation and is located in
places with minimal breezes that in
turn do not transport the gaseous
carbon dioxide far
Focus should be given on implementing the
framework.
Water management Water contamination and shortage of supply
 Maintain three lined bunding system
to retain water and avert
contamination.
 Settling floors to capture grey and
black water
 Completely covered
 Adjacent creek and riparian zone is
protected from runoff contamination
and wind-blown dust and grain from
storage unit
Noise Reduction of production and machine
generated noise
 Continuous monitoring
 Completely enclosed area in order
to minimize the noise
 Set up far from the locality
 No complaints from visitors or workers
 Risks of health hazards are reduced
Waste management Odour and contamination  Waste materials are transported to

Activity/ Aspects Impacts Observations Outcome/ Solutions
 Water contamination is monitored.
 Removal of by-products with potential
biohazard risks off-site
 Regulations and guidelines are
maintained.
Land Protection
Soil contamination and risks of making the land
infertile
Despite zoning and overlay being not explicit in
protecting the surrounding environment,
prevention of communal area development and
long term land protection will positively impact the
natural environment around the company.
 Enclosed plants are located within a
protected area surrounded by trees
 Effluent is captured and reused, whilst
sludge is contained and sent to drying
beds
 Utilising permaculture principles
 Complete detachment from farming land
Dust Control Gas and dust emissions to the environment established greenhouse
gas emissions reduction, efficient use of energy,
Large potential for environmental hazard
considering proximity to protected
Community Protection
land use, urbanization and development
destruct natural ecosystems in turn
threatening biodiversity
Possible overlap between natural
environments, industrial areas and the
community
 The zoning instructs conditional
utilization of the land thereby giving
room for urban development while
constantly protecting and advancing
natural environments
 prevents any development from
affecting the industry’s operation
