Environmental Law Assignment

Environmental – Michael Law
One of the ways of reducing environmental effects caused by the construction projects
is thorough the implementation of tall tree construction and the embracing financially
sustainable measures to enhance resources effectiveness. As well as, minimizing
waste generated through recycling and reusing the fabrics if possible and minimizing
consumption of natural resources through construction and design.
Environmental management plan
The environmental management plan refers to the issues related to the environment
and how they will be dealt with during the implementation process.
Project Design
At the initial stage, the natural environment, materials, and design will be assessed
and all their effects on the surrounding environs of the site will be taken into account.
The design and choices ideas will be centred on how to minimise the undesirable
effects on the surroundings. The ideas for design include the application of natural
environment to reduce the energy use.
Water and soil management/erosion and sedimentation control.
At this stage the entire work will be conducted in order to avoid erosion and at the
same time prevent sediments from getting eroded by water bodies, land and the
stormy geomorphology. In order to stop the spreading erosion of the sediments,
mitigation measures should be carried out right from the point of clearing and
excavation.
Vegetation Management
In order to ensure that the pre-existing trees and natural features are preserved, the
planning of this task will be carried out in a specific way. This can be achieved by

fencing off all the preserved zones and demarcating carefully ensuring the zones are
safe from destruction throughout the construction process. In the event that will be
many plants or animals in risk of extinction on the ground, proper conservation
measures should be applied appropriately in order to deal with the protection or the
relocation of this natural features. All the areas that were damaged during the
construction will be restored to their initial state and according to the contract
specification. Lot of efforts will be put in place to minimise the environmental wastes
that can be achieved by reuse and mulching the vegetation on site.
Waste Management and Resources
For the purpose of reducing the impact to the environment and the wastes we will
embrace the hierarchy of the wastes I.e. Avoid, reduce, recycle and dispose in order to
utilize resources recovery and the same time reduce wastes where possible in the
entire construction process. This practice of waste management will be included and
highlighted in the site induction.
There will be appropriate skips and bins to be used for the collection and separation of
the wastes and the recyclables. These will be carried out by the licensed and qualified
waste contractors.
Noise Management
In the entre construction stage we will make all possible efforts to ensure that we have
complied to the noise management and at the same time to reduce the nuisance caused
to the neighbourhood. The risk controls for the noise generated from the site will be
contained in the appropriate safety technique which includes harm to the
neighbourhood, if necessary; the noise controls should be performed according to the
existing regulations on development agreement.

All the areas that were damaged during the construction will be restored to their initial
state and according to the contract specification. Lot of efforts will be put in place to
minimise the environmental wastes that can be achieved by reuse and mulching the
vegetation on site.
Water Quality Management
During construction, various measures of minimising water pollution will be
instituted in ensuring that the construction activities and emission of hazardous wastes
is controlled. The potential water pollutants on site include wastes containing acids
and chemical residues, and painting brushes. This is allowed at places that are
approved by the relevant regulatory body. The used liquids on site will be labelled in
order to minimise the probability of misplacements. All the materials and liquids
which are likely to pollute water sources will be kept in secondary containments and
careful treatment will be done before disposal.
Carrying out a thorough site assessment would be useful in reducing the possibility of
contamination by giving a clear distinction and storage of inharmonious waste and
ensure that the all events that comprise the waste are conducted in a controlled region
to avoid land contamination or water pollution.
Air Quality Management
During the entire construction process, should ensure total compliance with all the
environmental standards which regulate air pollution. All the facilities including

machines and equipment onsite will be operated and designed in order to reduce
smoke and dust emission, plant and vehicle exhausts and among other air pollutants.
In ensuring that the effects of air pollution witnessed on site are minimized, during
construction, various measures of minimising water pollution will be instituted in
ensuring that the construction activities and emission of hazardous wastes is
controlled. The potential water pollutants on site include wastes containing acids and
chemical residues, and painting brushes. the following techniques will be used.
 The spraying and wetting down of the soil which is disturbed and the marram
roads to prevent the emission of dust.
 To ensure that all the loads leaving the site are covered.
 To make application of sediment shakers on the exist and entry into the site in
order to prevent dirt and mud from entering into the public roads which
surround the site.
Hazardous chemical, oils, substances and other contaminants
Prior to the start of work an evaluation of the location and quantities of harmful
chemicals and materials held onsite must be carried out. Carrying out a thorough site
assessment would be useful in reducing the possibility of contamination by giving a
clear distinction and storage of inharmonious waste and ensure that the all events that
comprise the waste are conducted in a controlled region to avoid land contamination
or water pollution.
Water and soil management/erosion and sedimentation control.
At this stage the entire work will be conducted in order to avoid erosion and at the
same time prevent sediments from getting eroded by water bodies, land and the

stormy geomorphology. In order to stop the spreading erosion of the sediments,
mitigation measures should be carried out right from the point of clearing and
excavation.
Land and Environment Issues
The key issue regarding to this project is at the excavation and the demolition stage as
the current site was initially used as a dumping site. Possible challenges that can arise
include; pollution from the harmful materials.
1 Hazardous Material
An assessment of the environment was done and a review of the previous inspection
history and the test from the soil samples showed that the area is freeform
contamination and appropriate for improvement.
2 Dust
The house is to be constructed in a place that is almost fully built, in this situation the
control of dust will be a very essential consideration due to the location and the civil
works that are required from the construction. Different sediments mitigation devices
will be applied to control the dust.
During construction, various measures of minimising water pollution will be
instituted in ensuring that the construction activities and emission of hazardous wastes
is controlled. The potential water pollutants on site include wastes containing acids
and chemical residues, and painting brushes.

The key issue regarding to this project is at the excavation and the demolition stage as
the current site was initially used as a dumping site. Possible challenges that can arise
include; pollution from the harmful materials.
3rd Issue; Flora and Fauna
The landscape of the site where the building s to be constructed is designed in a way
to integrate and retain all gardens and animal sheds where possible in order to
maintain the design within. All the vegetation that will be cleared to give way for the
construction would be replaced with the indigenous species. For instance, in parking
which will be offering shade to the cars.
4 The development plan will comply with the requirements that requires that any
development project of over $1 million be rated as 5 star.
5 Flooding
This is a major issue since the proposed area is flood prone and it will require that in
order to minimize destruction of the house in case of floods, the floor levels should be
slightly raised. The flooding of the construction site will call for extra cost to be
incurred in order to drain the water

Financial – Harrison Owens
Financing strategy
The part describes how the board of the tall tree construction plans to ensuring that the goals and
the targets are achieved. The main objective of the financial strategies is ensuring that the key
business is upheld and appropriate application is made for the financial support given and at the
same to ensure that he project is constructed within the given budget in order to avoid incurring
extra costs.
The following ideas and categorisations give guidelines for the financial strategies.
Categories of Tall Tree
It is classified into two categories;
‘Service’ is the sole works that have to be endlessly offered to achieve our goals. Their main
priorities for financing are formed by:
 Managing Mrs Tam’s investments.
 Central advice service to Mrs Tam.
 Continues to search for more methods to get the highest return on investment and
developing the new investments
‘Key project’ in this project are 15-year investments Mrs Tam is making;
Mrs Tam’s Requirements were such
 Investing in a project with low risks
 Has access to 70 Million

 Get out of investment after 15 years
 providing commercial returns for the next 15 years
Tall Tree is planning to achieve its target in the following method
 Acquiring site area for construction
 Building factories to Master specification
 Master would be occupying for 15 years,
 After 15-year time, Master will be purchasing Vivian Tam via Tall Tree.
The technique meets the other criteria set by Vivian Tam through;
Lower Risks: for the simple reason that Master has been constructing these houses for a number
of times hence have good performance record.
Commercial Returns: Master has accepted to lease the house from Vivian Tam and Tall Tree
looking after the house in a daily basis.
The investor, Mrs Tam is not willing to meet with any agent from Master since Tall Tree’s will
operate for the two parties.
Financing Risks
They are divided into four broad categories; the developer, the investor, the
unforeseencircumstances. Having this mentioned that, an evaluation of their possible risks would
offer more information.
Investor
This project, considers the investor as the most influential party because he holds the money and
the money holds power. Even though there are, any parties which determine the project success,
the investor is the ultimate determinant of the project success. The investors usually put a lot of
trust in the project management teams to ensure the project success. It must also be observed that

because of the large sums of money that are involved in this projects, the idea of working in
good faith is not trusted as the standards by which the work has to be done. The investors will
have numerous binding provisions that ensured both parties contracted perform to the
expectations else there would be damages.
Employing a financial manager to manage the finances is the greatest financial risk investor’s
face. Usually poor management of the project can lead to the additional costs to be incurred by
the investor; hence it is very important to have numerous layers of management all across the
work done in order to make sure that there are no challenges. Some small issues always arise ,
that have the potential to change the entire cost of the project, investing huge capital into a given
investment just to be disapproved by the relevant authority.
Having many levels of management in place can greatly help to ensure that powerful design will
be achieved. According to this type of construction project which is build purposely for tenant’s
master’ improvements then we will make application for their skills of constructing such houses.
Master usually provides plans and details for all that are required, they are usually a little
different between their buildings; usually the features of the houses such as the mechanical
services they are normally designed and therefore they do not require design work to be done on
them.
There are many houses of this kind that have been constructed andthis gives a lot of confidence
to the investor.
Developer

As developers, our greatest financial risk that we face is the risk of putting fortunes in an
investment project than for the funds being mismanaged which will leave behind an enormous
debt.
We have to draw an agreement in such a way to protect investment and favour them, we are
making low profits that are usually projected in the project but the unique position we hold in
this project.
Tenant
The only financial risks that face the tenants is that businesses sometimes may go wrong and in
that situation we terminate the agreement and that can lead to close down the stores.
Even though there are, any parties which determine the project success, the investor is the
ultimate determinant of the project success. The investors usually put a lot of trust in the project
management teams to ensure the project success. It must also be observed that because of the
large sums of money that are involved in this projects, the idea of working in good faith is not
trusted as the standards by which the work has to be done.
GFC
Another GFC could be having very upsetting impacts the given project, we are not sure what the
investors have, it is possible they may lose their investments by venturing in the wrong projects
and decide to withdraw from supporting given business.
Cost Benefits
These will include;
 The masters will do all the work related to the design, and they will provide to us ball sets
of working plans and access to their consultants without incurring any extra cost.

 The rent from the building will be received by Vivian Tam for the entire year.
 The house will be bought off Vivian Tam at the end of their 15 years’ contract.
 The masters have accepted to pay for the upkeep or the maintenance of the building
