against their result via a written letter, clearly stating the grounds of appeal to the MSS / DSS. This
should be submitted after completion of the subject and within 14 days of commencement of the new
term.
Re-assessment Process:
An appeal in writing is made to the ACC / MSS providing reasons for re-assessment /appeal.
ACC / MSS will delegate another faculty member of CBC to review the assessment.
The student will be advised of the review result done by another assessor.
If the student is still not satisfied and further challenges the decision, then a review panel is
formed comprising the lecturer/trainer in charge, the ACC, the MSS and the DSS OR if need be
an external assessor.
The Institute will advise the student of the appeal decision within 14 days from the submission
date of the appeal. The decision of the panel will be deemed to be final.
If the student is still not satisfied with the result, the he / she has the right to seek independent
advice or follow external mediation option with CBC’s nominated mediation agency.
Any student who fails a compulsory subject or appeals unsuccessfully will be required to re-
enrol in that subject.
The cost of reassessment will be borne by the Institute. The external assessor will base his/her
judgement based on principles of assessment. These principles require assessment to be reliable, fair,
practical and valid.
Academic Appeals:
If the student is dissatisfied with the outcome of the assessment marking process, he/she has a
right to appeal the assessment results.
The notice of appeal should be in writing addressed to the MSS / ACC and submitted within
seven days of notification of the assessment results.

Answer sheet
Under Australia’s federal system of government, responsibility for environmental regulation is carried by the
Commonwealth Government and state/territory governments concurrently.
The Commonwealth’s responsibilities are principally established as a result of the foreign affairs power
under the Constitution and the Commonwealth Government implementing Australia’s responsibilities under
international agreements on environmental protection. The residual powers of the states under the
Constitution allow for the concurrent regulation of environmental matters that lay outside of the
Commonwealth’s responsibilities.
Whilst this system is often labelled a ‘dual regulatory approach’ there are, in practice, three tiers of
environmental regulation as state and territory governments frequently devolve many environmental
decisions and regulatory functions to local governments.
This complex system of environmental regulation is the principal concern of this chapter. It will first examine
environmental regulation at the Commonwealth level, and subsequently provide a brief and general overview
of the regulatory responsibilities of the states and territories as well as local governments.
1. amends the Protection of the Environment Administration Act 1991 to provide for certain fees and
charges under legislation administered by the EPA to be paid into the Environment Protection
Authority Fund
2. makes consequential amendments to the Land and Environment Court Act 1979 and Protection of
the Environment Operations (General) Regulation 2009
2. Identify any resources and initiatives which are in place or available in your
state to help business to reduce their waste and use resources more efficiently.
If your business produces waste, then there is a good chance you are wasting money!
EPA has assembled a range of hints and tips aimed at assisting you to improve the resource efficiency in
your business.
These tips will help identify ways to improve business environmental performance while increasing
productivity and reducing costs of production. Resource efficiency is often a cheap and fast way to solve
problems as reducing waste will reduce the size and cost of any subsequent treatment process and/or
disposal costs.
The hints and tips have been grouped for ease of reference and the broad categories are listed below. They
are intended to help you focus on specific areas in your business and guide your subsequent actions.

initiative(s). Outline how these would be used.
Delivery and assessment of Employability Skills2 Employability Skills are integral to workplace competency,
and, as such, must be considered in the design, customisation, delivery and assessment of vocational
education and training programs in an integrated and holistic way, as represented diagrammatically below.
Competency Standards
Learning Outcomes
Reflection
Workplace Activities
Assessment Strategies
Learning Strategies
Integration of Employability Skills
This diagram describes factors to consider when integrating employability skills. These factors are:
competency standards, learning outcomes, assessment strategies, learning strategies, workplace activities
and reflection. These factors are of equal importance.
Training providers must analyse the Employability Skills information contained in units of competency in
order to design valid and reliable training and assessment strategies. This analysis includes: reviewing
unit(s) of competency to determine how each relevant Employability Skill is found and applied within the unit
analysing the Employability Skills Summary for the qualification in which the unit(s) is/are packaged to help
clarify relevant industry/workplace contexts with regard to the application of Employability Skills at that
qualification level designing learning and assessment activities that address Employability Skills
requirements.
The Employability Skills Summaries for the qualifications available in the Framework are included on pp 7–
11.
The Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) developed a resource to assist trainers and
assessors ‘unpack’ the Employability Skills requirements contained in units of competency and integrate
them into training and assessment practice.
B. Measuring current consumption and identifying existing procedures of work practices and
purchasing:
Conduct a practical assessment of your organisation’s resources and practices. You may use the
forms
attached below to collect your data or any software available to you (for example you may
create a
spreadsheet using Microsoft Excel).
1. Take the current meter reading for gas, electricity and water.
3. Measure the flow rate for water of various taps using the formula “Flow rate
= Volume/Time (L/min)”
4. Inspect the type of lighting used and determine the KW/H (1000 Watt = 1 KWH) used in
that department based on typical or given workplace practices during operation.
6. Determine the intervals of waste collection and determine the size of the cubicle(s) used.

7. This task is performed outside: Wearing gloves and using tongs, physically inspect the
contents of garbage bins from your department and inspect the approximate waste for
each category (Glass, paper, card board, green waste etc) and express these in percent
(approximately).
8. Determine the energy consumption ratings, use and settings of air conditioners and
heaters where applicable and document the potential KWH usage for these units.
9. Determine the resources required for any plants, landscaping or outside areas as relevant.
10. List the purchasing strategies which are currently in place including environmentally
sustainable approaches; carbon foot print considerations (for example use local
supplies from growers etc.)
11. Identify any workplace environmental and occupational hazards you may encounter during
your resource analysis.
12. Identify any breaches or potential breaches for environmental practices you
have encountered in the audited area during your project and outline the issues.
1. Analyse the results you have obtained for usage of resources and compare these
results against:
2. Set your targets in a table or spreadsheet based on your findings of the analysis.
3. Outline the provisions for communication this would require with key stakeholders
relevant to your position and workplace and how this will be achieved. Include a template
for an agenda and table for entering actions.

Part B
For this part of the assessment project you are required to write and environmental
resource efficiency improvement plan which details the following:
3. The resource areas and targets you have established based on Section 3, Part A;
4. The measures and tools you will implement to achieve these targets;
5. Strategies that can be used to ensure staff compliance with environmental requirements and
to achieve new targets;
6. Strategies you will use for purchasing and selection of supply chains;
7. A calculation which will provide information as to the potential savings that can be achieved
over time, given the investment;
For example:
Use of e.g. 10 light bulbs rated at 0.060 KWH in Kitchen area could be replaced with 10
energy saving bulbs rated at 0.012 KWH which would represent an energy saving of (10 *
48 = 0.480KWH) 0.480 KW per hour x $ 0.28 = $ 0. 1344 per hour or at 10 hours per day: $
0.1344 x 10 = $1.35/ Day.
For a 7 day operation this then equates to a potential saving of $ 492.75 minus the
proportion of the cost of the energy saving bulb @ $ 7.50 /5000 hours ($1.50 per 1000
hours use)versus an ordinary bulb @ $ 0.75 /1000 hours lifespan.
10 Showerheads in guest rooms rated A could be replaced by ones rated AAA with a
potential saving of (10 * 55 L = 550 L ) 550 Litres per day etc. (0.55 x 1.80 = $ 0.99/day x
365 = $ 361.35/year) minus the initial cost for purchasing the more efficient showerheads
(for the first year only)
8. The provisions for communication to periodically discuss and network with colleagues
to make adjustments and identify progress;
9. A spreadsheet or set of tools which can be used to record and monitor periodic results from
readings and invoices/ statements for utilities;
10. Examples how you will evaluate strategies and make adjustments to the improvement plan.
