The candidate must be assessed on their ability to integrate and apply the performance requirements of this unit in a workplace setting. Performance must be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.

The candidate must provide evidence that they can:

identify infrastructure requirements for the enterprise

source, construct and modify infrastructure to meet enterprise requirements

develop an infrastructure maintenance program including scheduling and responsibilities

establish a recording system for infrastructure purchase, construction and maintenance

interpret, analyse and extract information from a range of sources

identify, build and use network and support groups

recognise potential opportunities to use or install more environmentally efficient systems or equipment

implement enterprise work health and safety policies

implement enterprise sustainability practices.

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

sustainable land use principles and practices

property planning, financial management and enterprise budgeting systems and procedures

environmental controls and codes of practice available to the organisation

sound management practices and processes to minimise noise odours and debris from production processes

sustainable land use principles and practices applicable in the region

relevant legislation and regulations relating to infrastructure management.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.
