Context
As we have discussed throughout this semester, there are several ways in which improved
sustainability can be designed and delivered in the built environment across a scale from an
individual dwelling to a whole city. Depending on what scale you are looking at, there are different
options for improving sustainability outcomes. Understanding how these options interplay at
different levels of scale is important if we are to deliver more suitable outcomes. In this assessment
task you will take the role of an ESD consultant who has been asked by the local council to undertake
a critical review of a proposed development of a new estate which has already been designed. You
will critique this development based upon the key topics covered in this course. You will be expected
to justify why you support key inclusions and/or propose changes to the plan and how these will
impact on triple bottom line outcomes based upon your learning in this semester and further
exploration of the literature. This will help you improve your skills of looking more holistically at
sustainability in our built environment which is an increasingly important skill required working in
the industry.
This assessment task builds upon the content and discussions from the semester as well as
assessment tasks 1 and 2. You will complete this assessment individually. This assessment task
addresses Course Learning Outcomes 1, 3, 4 and 5:
1. Identify the characteristics of best‐practice in sustainable building initiatives
3. Apply Identify and analyse effective strategies for achieving sustainable buildings and
sustainable design outcomes
4. Critically analyse Australian sustainability policy and project initiatives
5. Evaluate and communicate the effectiveness of cu
ent sustainability initiatives and assess
whether these initiatives are operating in an effective sustainability framework.
Depending on the types of evaluation you include in your report, this assessment addresses Program
Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3 and 4:
1. Determine and apply knowledge of complex sustainable building theory, principles and
practice, to contribute to the design and management of sustainable buildings
2. Critically analyse, synthesise and reflect on sustainable building theory and recent
developments, both local and international, to extend and challenge knowledge and practice
3. Professionally communicate and justify sustainable building design principles, strategies,
solutions and/or outcomes, engaging effectively with diverse stakeholders, including across
the government and industry sectors
4. Adopt a building performance and systems approach, and apply specialist knowledge and
technical skills to creatively address the diverse needs of sustainable building stakeholders
Task    description
1. Your case study is the old Amcor papermill site in Alphington which is now known as Ya
a
Bend – Alphington. You can find out further information about the site and the development
plan here: https:
ya
abend.com.au/
You can draw upon other information available online about this development site.

Master plan: https:
ya
abend.com.au/masterplan
2. You will prepare a report as an ESD (Ecologically Sustainable Development) Consultant on
ehalf of the local council. The council wants to know your expert opinion on the proposed
development and what, if any, recommendations you think may improve design and
sustainability outcomes. Note that for this report the council is interested in more than just
environmental sustainability and also wants to see considerations across the triple bottom
line (i.e. environmental, social and economic). For elements that you feel do not need any
changes, you will be required to explain why you support the design inclusions. All
discussions should be presented within considerations of the triple bottom line approach.
3. You will use the weekly topics in the course to frame your critique. In addition to the weekly
content you will need to draw on evidence from the literature.
4. It is required that you cover at least the following (as taken from the weekly topics) in your
formal report:
a. An introduction to the
oader issue of the impact of the built environment on triple
ottom line sustainability considerations. Make sure that you state the intent of the
eport in the introduction.
. Your definition of sustainable development.
c. An overview on metrics for measuring sustainability outcomes, including what you
ecommend using to evaluate this proposed development. You should include a
discussion of minimum building code requirements.
d. What is Australian and international best practice for a development like this? You
will need to define what is meant by best practice and introduce an Australian and
international case with which you can compare the proposed development.
e. Present an introduction to the case study development site.
f. Assess the proposed design against environmental sustainability, economic
sustainability, social sustainability and lifecycle thinking. Within these domains you
should also make sure the following are covered:
i. Energy
ii. Water
iii. Materials
g. Compare the proposed development to the Australian and international best
examples. (Note: you may want to use a sustainability measure/index here to do the
evaluation such as Green Star or BESS).
h. Recommendations
i. Summary
5. There will be in class questions each week which will help prepare your answers.
6. If you want to redesign parts (or the whole) development, that is ok. Please provide a sketch
of any design changes to the masterplan and include drawings/pictures/sketches of other
elements.
Additional information –The intent is to work more
oadly across the themes. You can go into as
much detail for each theme/element in the design that you feel is required.

Executive Summary
In this report definition of sustainable development, Overview of metrics for measuring sustainability outcomes, minimum building code requirements, Environmental sustainability are discussed clearly and properly. The overall idea of sustainable development and the redevelopment planning of the old Amcor paper mill site in Alphington is achieving environmental sustainability as well as other sustainability issues that are also discussed in the report. In this report, minimum building code requirement is discussed and the overview of the impact of the redevelopment project on triple bottom line such as economic, social and environmental sustainability considerations are also described in a proper way as per as possible. In this report with respect to the given report on the old Amcor paper mill site in Alphington, the Australian and international best practices have been discussed. For the comparison purpose with the given case study of Ya
a Bend - Alphington, the ongoing West Gate Tunnel Project in Melbourne has been selected. Also, in this specific report, economic, social and environmental sustainability along with life cycle thinking have been discussed in a thorough manner. Sustainability in the building environment is discussed comprehensively with clarity regarding the building industry across the world for the enhancement of effective approaches to achieve greater estate environment quality in the context of specific building projects called Ya
a Bend in Australia compared to the peak practices of sustainable buildings at international level. All the effective measures and the key principles are elaborated for the improvement in the social, economic and environmental condition regarding sustainable building environment. After the assessment of all the aspects of sustainable building ideas, the conclusion is drawn for a summarised view of the study. This specific report is based on a case study which is on sustainable construction of the Amcor paper mill site in Alphington which is also known as Ya
a Bend. The planning and the execution process as well as the architectural works are going to be described in this research work.

1. Introduction
The old Amcor paper mill site in Alphington is occupied by Ya
abend for redevelopment. A development plan was introduced by Ya
a-bend for reusing the paper mill land. A report will be prepared as an Ecologically sustainable Development consultant on behalf of the local council for knowing the expert view of the sustainable development of the redevelopment of the site. According to Tomislav (2018, p. 70) sustainable development is the total development that refers to the economic, social and environmental development of an area. It is very essential to know whether a redevelopment project contains its sustainable development or not. In this report, the definition of sustainable development, overview the results for measuring sustainability outcomes of the project, minimum building code requirement, case study, comparison between the proposed development to the Australian and international best examples, environmental, economic, social sustainability, life cycle thinking are discussed as per as possible clearly. Sustainable developments are the concepts that human society meets its needs and must live to meet their needs without compromising the future generation’s ability (Reznichenko et al., 2018, p. 71). The impact of the project for the redevelopment of the Alphington paper mill site is how it affects the environmental, social and economic context. The intention of the report is very important because this redevelopment project is effective or not as per above mentioned three fields which are known as the triple bottom line. The consideration about sustainable development of the project must be in mind so to get the overall review of the sustainability of the project in the report must be essential.
2. Definition of sustainable development
Sustainable development is the development that satisfies the need for economic development without depletion of environmental or natural resources. The concept of sustainable development is old but in the present condition, the usefulness of this is
oader. There are many definitions of sustainable development. Another researcher Silvestre and Ţîrcă (2019, p. 226) said that sustainable development is a development process that meets the needs of the present generation by considering and remembering the needs of future generations also. This sustainable development is an activity that tries to help to obtain long-term values for development activities. It helps to maintain and improve the lifestyle of the people to maintain environmental sustainability and qualities of nature’s resources with economic development. The main objectives of sustainable development are conservation of all biodiversity, use of all essential natural resources in a scientific way and also keeping attention to the recycling of the resources for future generations (Grubler et al.,2018, p. 516). The controlling of the spread of any contamination and keeping the ecosystem safe for present and future generations are also the objectives of this development. Natural resources should be used as a way to maintain social justice. Developing human qualities like education, good health and per capita income is also the requirement of sustainable development. It has been shown by Drobyazko et al. (2019, p. 4) that the concepts of sustainable development create a link that is inseparable, between wealth, People and the world where they live. Achieving sustainable development has really helped the countries to grow the development in the economic, social and environmental field. These three developments are known as the triple bottom line sustainable development. This development is very essential for any country for overall development. Through this development, the environment, society and people are kept safe from various situations.
3. Overview on metrics for measuring sustainability outcomes
The measuring unit of sustainability outcomes of this Ya
a-bend Alphington project must be a widely concerned matter of the local council. The council wants to know the
oader impact of the project in an environmental, economic and social context. Since this old Amcor paper mill site is on the riverside, the council is concerned very much about the impact of the project in nature. Now the area finally developed for commercial, residential and retail use etc. This site is approached as a mixed-use development project so the council are more concerned about the benefits of the proposed project and the disadvantages and loopholes of the project. This project contains commercial fields like factories, workshops so it helps to develop the economy of this area (Xu et al., 2020, p. 75). But sustainable development is concerned not only with economic development. Measuring sustainability is concerned also with social and environmental development. In this Ya
a-bend Alphington project, there are many plans to build up homes, townhouses and apartments. In the planning, Ya
a-bend Alphington residents will be featured with yoga areas, beautiful architected home, indoor or rooftop heated swimming pool and wellness centres, beautiful gardens and also parks for children etc. Ya
a-bend residents will also gain experience to enjoy the high-speed internet facility and entertainment set-up in-home and update technology support which is very essential for the new modern lifestyle. There are a hospitality facility and a new exciting dining setup for the residents in the area. Many people come to stay in this apartment to enjoy the master-planned facilities so there is a social gathering and a chance to see their cultures. It also has created social development. The rest of the development is environmental development which is also the main concern of the council as an Ecologically sustainable Development consultant. It is said by the researcher Zhang et al. (2019, p. 133536) that Ya
a-bend has also committed to taking initiatives of enhancing the environmental sustainability in this site. They have the plan including water storage like the pond, swimming pool and the horticulture design like green rooftops and community garden. These features will be focused to achieve the ratings under the environment development schemes of this site.
4. Minimum building code requirements
The minimum building code is the main requirement of the redevelopment of the old Amcor paper mill site in Alphington known as the Ya
abend project. It has been shown by Di Baldassa
e et al. (2019, p. 6330) that the building code of Australia is the performance-based national construction code. If anyone tries to construct a building they have to require the minimum requirement of this code. This building code requires some structure like fire safety, accessibility, health issues safety, construction structure safety, drainage system and sustainability. Australian building standards are the documents that are designed to ensure the fitting of materials, products, methods of construction and many services. These published documents ensure that the construction is perfect or not and its purpose is fulfilled or not. The NCC or BCA is the legal issue and it must be fulfilled by any builder when undertaking the procedure of building or drainage and plumbing (Be
ington et al., 2017, p. 22). This project also needs the minimum code for constructing these buildings. This construction of these buildings gets the minimum building code because they do this properly as required. The vision of the site is taken as a major residential site with shops, open space, offices, and community facilities with the proper master plan. There is a proper drainage system, proper construction plan, and proper sustainability maintenance in this planning the project. They used proper materials for building construction and maintained the proper procedure to build up the buildings in this redevelopment project.

1. Introduction  
The old Amcor paper mill site in Alphington is occupied by Yarrabend for redevelopment. A development plan was introduced by Yarra-bend for reusing the paper mill land. A report will be prepared as an Ecologically sustainable Development consultant on behalf of the local council for knowing the expert view of the sustainable development of the redevelopment of the site. According to Tomislav (2018, p. 70) sustainable development is the total development that refers to the economic, social and environmental development of an area. It is very essential to know whether a redevelopment project contains its sustainable development or not. In this report, the definition of sustainable development, overview the results for measuring sustainability outcomes of the project, minimum building code requirement, case study, comparison between the proposed development to the Australian and international best examples, environmental, economic, social sustainability, life cycle thinking are discussed as per as possible clearly. Sustainable developments are the concepts that human society meets its needs and must live to meet their needs without compromising the future generation’s ability (Reznichenko et al., 2018, p. 71). The impact of the project for the redevelopment of the Alphington paper mill site is how it affects the environmental, social and economic context. The intention of the report is very important because this redevelopment project is effective or not as per above mentioned three fields which are known as the triple bottom line. The consideration about sustainable development of the project must be in mind so to get the overall review of the sustainability of the project in the report must be essential. 
2. Definition of sustainable development 
Sustainable development is the development that satisfies the need for economic development without depletion of environmental or natural resources. The concept of sustainable development is old but in the present condition, the usefulness of this is broader. There are many definitions of sustainable development. Another researcher Silvestre and Ţîrcă (2019, p. 226) said that sustainable development is a development process that meets the needs of the present generation by considering and remembering the needs of future generations also. This sustainable development is an activity that tries to help to obtain long-term values for development activities. It helps to maintain and improve the lifestyle of the people to maintain environmental sustainability and qualities of nature’s resources with economic development. The main objectives of sustainable development are conservation of all biodiversity, use of all essential natural resources in a scientific way and also keeping attention to the recycling of the resources for future generations (Grubler et al.,2018, p. 516). The controlling of the spread of any contamination and keeping the ecosystem safe for present and future generations are also the objectives of this development. Natural resources should be used as a way to maintain social justice. Developing human qualities like education, good health and per capita income is also the requirement of sustainable development. It has been shown by Drobyazko et al. (2019, p. 4) that the concepts of sustainable development create a link that is inseparable, between wealth, People and the world where they live. Achieving sustainable development has really helped the countries to grow the development in the economic, social and environmental field. These three developments are known as the triple bottom line sustainable development. This development is very essential for any country for overall development. Through this development, the environment, society and people are kept safe from various situations.    
3. Overview on metrics for measuring sustainability outcomes 
The measuring unit of sustainability outcomes of this Yarra-bend Alphington project must be a widely concerned matter of the local council. The council wants to know the broader impact of the project in an environmental, economic and social context. Since this old Amcor paper mill site is on the riverside, the council is concerned very much about the impact of the project in nature. Now the area finally developed for commercial, residential and retail use etc. This site is approached as a mixed-use development project so the council are more concerned about the benefits of the proposed project and the disadvantages and loopholes of the project. This project contains commercial fields like factories, workshops so it helps to develop the economy of this area (Xu et al., 2020, p. 75). But sustainable development is concerned not only with economic development. Measuring sustainability is concerned also with social and environmental development. In this Yarra-bend Alphington project, there are many plans to build up homes, townhouses and apartments. In the planning, Yarra-bend Alphington residents will be featured with yoga areas, beautiful architected home, indoor or rooftop heated swimming pool and wellness centres, beautiful gardens and also parks for children etc. Yarra-bend residents will also gain experience to enjoy the high-speed internet facility and entertainment set-up in-home and update technology support which is very essential for the new modern lifestyle. There are a hospitality facility and a new exciting dining setup for the residents in the area. Many people come to stay in this apartment to enjoy the master-planned facilities so there is a social gathering and a chance to see their cultures. It also has created social development. The rest of the development is environmental development which is also the main concern of the council as an Ecologically sustainable Development consultant. It is said by the researcher Zhang et al. (2019, p. 133536) that Yarra-bend has also committed to taking initiatives of enhancing the environmental sustainability in this site. They have the plan including water storage like the pond, swimming pool and the horticulture design like green rooftops and community garden. These features will be focused to achieve the ratings under the environment development schemes of this site.           
4. Minimum building code requirements 
The minimum building code is the main requirement of the redevelopment of the old Amcor paper mill site in Alphington known as the Yarrabend project. It has been shown by Di Baldassarre et al. (2019, p. 6330) that the building code of Australia is the performance-based national construction code. If anyone tries to construct a building they have to require the minimum requirement of this code. This building code requires some structure like fire safety, accessibility, health issues safety, construction structure safety, drainage system and sustainability. Australian building standards are the documents that are designed to ensure the fitting of materials, products, methods of construction and many services. These published documents ensure that the construction is perfect or not and its purpose is fulfilled or not. The NCC or BCA is the legal issue and it must be fulfilled by any builder when undertaking the procedure of building or drainage and plumbing (Bebbington et al., 2017, p. 22). This project also needs the minimum code for constructing these buildings. This construction of these buildings gets the minimum building code because they do this properly as required. The vision of the site is taken as a major residential site with shops, open space, offices, and community facilities with the proper master plan. There is a proper drainage system, proper construction plan, and proper sustainability maintenance in this planning the project. They used proper materials for building construction and maintained the proper procedure to build up the buildings in this redevelopment project.
