3.0 Project Scope
3.1 Project Requirements
The project requirements are divided into two sections such as legislation requirements and the
technical and developmental requirements. The projects aim towards the environmental
protection in order to promote a healthier life for the people of Koala city and the wildlife at this
place. The project requirement sheds light over the long-term changes and the sustainability of
the eco-friendly system in this city. However, this change policy and the environmental policy
will shade light over all the corporate offices, manufacturing units, and the daily lives of the local
people. However, the state and the local government will give extra care towards the wildlife of
this place. The First section of this project will shed light over the legislative requirement in
order to restrict the current practices in the locality in order to make the environment safer. This
requirement will highlight the reconstruction of the environmental policies such as the use of
renewable energy sources, use of electric vehicles, use of disposal materials, and the daily
practices related to the environmental pollution (Fleming & Koppelman, 2016). This legislation
will be applicable over all the industries, offices and the design of the city. On the other hand,
this project will be a development work, which will be implemented in the locality and the
offices in this place. In order to promote a healthier environment, first importance will be given
towards the electrification system. In this system, the source of the energy will be converted to
the renewable sources gradually. In this segment as an energy source, the development work will
include the solar grid power-supply service and the wind air. This city promotes empty lands that
can be used for implementing windmills and solar panels to produce electricity (Alshamrani &
Bahattab, 2015). On the other hand, the use of electric vehicles will reduce the air pollution from
the vehicles. In the case of manufacturing units and the industries, this project will require
implementing better filtering system, which will be used at the polluted water extraction points.
On the other hand, the offices will properly use the natural light in order to reduce the electricity
consumption. Moreover, electricity efficient electrical equipment such as LED lights and low
consumption fans will be used in order to reduce the electricity consumption (Jahagirdar, 2015).
On the other hand, drainage system will use water treatment plant in order to promote a pollution

Environment Policy
free natural water resources. The better AI based traffic controlling system will take care of the
traffic jams, which will promote a healthier environment. In order to reduce the electricity
consumption of the streetlights, there will be automation system. The streetlights will be
powered directly from the miniature solar system attached to the lights. The lights will have
enabled light sensor that will switch on the light in the low light condition (Joskow, 2014).
Moreover, this development work will also include road construction, which will aim to provide
a better transport system and reduce dust.
3.2 Work Breakdown Structure
The work breakdown structure will shed light over the span of different tasks. However, the
work of the development project will shed light over two sections such as legislative
development and the constructional development. Both the development sections will start
working at the same time. The project life is one year in which all the developmental works need
to be done properly. For the legislative section, the team for the legislation restructure will
analyze the present legislation available for the city. This work will start on 15th September and
will end on 18th of September 2018. In this section, all the members will analyze the factors in
the present legislation and will opt out the factors where the restructuring is required. From 18th
September 2018 to 25th September 2018 the members will include the new legislation as a
proposal. The highest court of the state will revise the new reformed legislation and will promote
a new environmental law by 1st October 2018.
On the other hand, the developmental work will first shed light over the installation of the solar
system and solar power grid for the power supply system for the location. This work will start on
15th September 2018 and will end on 10th of April 2019. Besides the implementation of the
renewable energy source, the development work will shed light over the electrification system in
the locality. In order to promote a better-uninterrupted power service, there will be a 33kv
substation (Hua, Oliphant & Hu, 2016). From there the electricity distribution system will
implement underground cabling. This will start on 20th September 2018 and will end on the 15th
of February 2019. After completion of the underground cabling system, this construction work
will shed light on streetlights and better roads. Implementation of the low power consumption
light as the streetlights will start from 16th February 2019 and will end on 20th June 2019. On
the other hand, the construction of the road will start from 21st June and will complete by 10th

September 2019. However, there will be the installation of the better power system in the offices
(Kramer, 2018). In the government office and the corporate office's installation of the LED lights
and electrical equipment of low electricity, the installation will start from 21st June and will
complete by 13th September 2019. In between, this year of development works all the
manufacturing companies will install a better filtering process at the exhausts within 10th
December 2018. After that, the government will install wastewater-filtering process in order to
reduce the water pollution and make the water reusable. This water treatment plant construction
will start from 11th December 2018 and will end on 5th September 2019.

install a better filtering process at the exhausts within 10th December 2018. After that, the
government will install wastewater-filtering process in order to reduce the water pollution and
make the water reusable. This water treatment plant construction will start from 11th December
2018 and will end on 5th September 2019.
5.0 Project Cost
5.1 Project Costs
The costing of the project is divided into two sections. The legislative development will require a
project cost of $0.01 million. On the other hand, the total constructional work requires $2.49
million. The biggest costing will go for development of solar power grid and the electrification
system. However, the only solar power grid system will require $0.9 million. On the other hand,
the underground cabling will require $0.09 million. On the other hand, the construction of the
water treatment system will require $0.5 million. In order to promote a better transportation
system, the development of better road will require $0.2 million (Dehabadi, Salari & Mirzaei,
2014). On the other hand, the implementation of the road lights will require $0.4 million.
However, the electrification system and changing accessories within the offices will require $0.4
million. Hence, the total project cost becomes $2.5 million in order to complete the total
developmental work. However, this costing for each segment of the development work includes
the worker's salary also.
5.2 Project Budget
The project budget includes all the development work requires to promote a better environmental
plan. According to the government policy, this developmental project carries a budget of $2.5
million. However, this budget includes all the purchase of the equipment for the constructional
work. On the other hand, the budget also includes the payment for the workers of the project
work.

6.0 Project Stakeholders
6.1 Stakeholder Analysis
The development of environmental policy includes all the public bodies, government, and the
people 0fo this place as the part of the stakeholders. The main stakeholder of the development
plan is the government. The impact of the project is high for the government agencies. On the
other hand, the government body and the government agencies carry high influence over the
development work. The government is responsible to design the developmental plan. On the
other hand, the government body will be mainly responsible for the refrain of the environmental
planning and reframing the legislation regarding the environmental laws for the state. However,
the government bodies will be responsible to act the progress of the development work in order
to complete the work in time. Moreover, the private sectors and the companies that will take over
the government projects are highly responsible for completing the project within time. Moreover,
the organizations will possess high influence over the quality of the developmental work, as the
private construction companies will do the constructional work. This organization carries a high
impact on other small and medium size company. Moreover, these changes in the organizations
will also leave a positive impact on the mind of the people of this city. Employees of the
government bodies and the private companies are also the stakeholder of the development work.
The interest of the employees over the development is medium. On the other hand, the impact of
the employees is high for the developmental work. Nevertheless, the community is also the part
of the stakeholder in order to complete the developmental work. However, the level of interest of
the people of that location is high. On the other hand, the impact of the development
environmental plan is also high. However, the contribution of each stakeholder differs. In this
development plan, the government body and the government agencies will provide the funding
and will promote regulation for the project. On the other hand, the organization that will work
under the legislation and supervision of the government agencies will contribute to the quality of
the work. However, the people of the location will contribute to the project by understanding the
regulation and maintaining this regulation in daily practice. Moreover, there will be a barrier for
each stakeholder such as the government might fail to engage the community in the development
work. On the other hand, the private organizations might fail to adhere to the policies regulated
by the government. In this development work, the stakeholders will hold different engagement
