Summarize graphs

Electricity

Reduce electricity use by 2% per annum (using FY06/07 as initial benchmark).

Following graph shows electricity usage:

Graph shows electricity usage which was from FY06/07 to FY11/12. In FY08/09, FY10/11 and FY11/12 was
target reached. In FY07/08 and FY0910 years targets was not reached.

We can see on graph that in FY08/09, FY10/11 and FY11/12 was target reached, so it can be through staff
was using electrical equipment correctly. Recommendation for stuff is training all staff for using electrical
equipment.

Gas

Reduce gas use by 4% per annum (using FY06/07 as initial benchmark) Following graph shows gas usage:

Graph shows gas usage which was from FY06/07 to FY11/12. In FY09/10, FY10/11 and FY11/12 was target
reached. In FY07/08 and FY08/09 years targets was not reached.

In the beginning of implementation was not target reached but at the last 3 years was reached. It may be due
to slow or delayed implementation of changes. As we can see from graph 3 last years was target reached, so
we can continue in introduced policy.

Water

Reduce water use by 2% per annum (using FY06/07 as initial benchmark Following graph shows water
usage:

Assessment Task 3 BSBSUS501 Develop workplace policy and procedures for sustainability

Graph shows electricity usage which was from FY06/07 to FY11/12. In FY07/08, FY08/09, FY09/10 and
FY11/12 was target reached. In FY10/11 year targets was not reached. After deploying changes we can see
from graph target in FY07/08, FY08/09, FY09/10 was target reached perfectly. In FY10/11 target was not
reached and in FY11/12 was slightly reached. It can show waste of water by stuff due to forgetting of use
water efficiently. Staff have to be retrained how to use water according our policy.

Evaluation Summary

Environmental sustainability was strengthened this year through a variety of initiatives. From February 2009,
the Sail Lights were turned off for an extra four hours per night, saving close to 12 megawatt hours per year.
In a first for Sydney Opera House, biodiesel generators were used to light the sails for Luminous and Smart
Light Sydney with carbon emissions offset through independently verified Greenhouse Friendly carbon
credits. With the new role of Manager, Sustainability and Energy appointed in November 2008, a ‘Green
Team’ was created to encourage environmental awareness throughout the organization using specially
designed programs and information for staff and stakeholders. Other initiatives included waste audits,
installation of water efficient spray guns in restaurant areas, a ‘Greening the House’ exhibition to celebrate
World Environment Day and development of a Recycling and Waste Management Strategy. Consultation
with stakeholders was undertaken to inform a new Environmental Sustainability Policy and Plan.

Waste and Recycling Management Sydney Opera House has been working to improve waste and recycling
management. Two waste audits were conducted this year to gain an in depth understanding of the waste
streams at Sydney Opera House. Audit information has been used to review current practices and to develop
a Recycling and Waste Management Strategy for improving waste recycling, which will be implemented in
the next year. The strategy will include a new three bin separation system (paper, comingled and landfill),
improved recycling of building maintenance materials including light bulbs, and trial systems for managing
organic food waste from kitchens within the Sydney Opera House precinct. Results of the waste audits are
outlined beStream Tonnes

Stream Tonnes Cubic Metres Percentage of Total (Tonnes)

Cardboard 51.91 7% 741,56

recycling

Paper recycling 15,27 2% 386.30

Glass recycling 150,95 20% 487.00

Glass recycling 547,17 71% 4,142,57

Total 765,30 100% 5,757,43

World Environment Day was celebrated on 5 June 2009 with a ‘Greening the House’ exhibition, featuring
displays which described and sought feedback on the draft recycling and waste management strategy and
provided mobile phone recycling points.
