SECTION A: LEGISLATION AND SOURCES OF INFORMATION FOR RESOURCES
AND INITIATIVES
1.
All businesses need to follow environmental legislations, regulations, and codes of practice and
must implement appropriate processes to ensure compliance. Legislation describes the

These main functions fulfilled include:
 Managing the Australian Government's heritage and environment programs
 Administering environmental and heritage laws.
 Implementing effective responses to climate change
 National Environment protection
 Measures Energy and Greenhouse Law
