3SUSTAINABILITY OF OPERAS AND THEATRES
Introduction:
Sustainability achievement has emerged as an important organisational goal for even
small companies. The aim of the assignment is to study this achievement of sustainability
through the lenses of a small theatre company named Tiny Opera Company in Australia.
Assessment task 1:
1. Review of the case study:
Tiny Opera Company was a start-up entertainment business operating in New South
Wales, Australia. The company introduced the concept of theatres in the region which could
be enjoyed at affordable prices by the middle class customers. The company is seeking to
comply with all legislative and regulatory laws to achieve sustainability by operating in more
environment friendly ways (reneweconomy.com.au 2018). The case study does not give clear
idea about the legislative and regulatory documents except a statement showing income and
expenditure of the company. The income and expenditure statement of the company shows
that the firm is operating successfully which means that it has acquired all legislative and
regulatory documents. The documents consist of vital documents like trading licenses and
contracts laws which the entertainment company must follow while entering into contracts
for shows. It must also follow the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and offer
entertainment services to consumers ethically (business.gov.au 2018). The firm must abide by
laws pertaining vital business areas like taxation, accounting, workplace health and safety and
sustainability.
