List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. | Determine survey requirements and azimuth. | 1.1. | Relevant information is gathered to determine survey requirements in consultation with appropriate persons. |
| 1.2. | Survey marks are located as indicated on survey plan. |
| 1.3. | Position of parcel of land corners is established from identified survey marks. |
| 1.4. | Right on boundary or parallel azimuth is established. |
| 1.5. | Monumented and non-monumented occupations are used to establish an azimuth parallel to street boundary. |
| 1.6. | Assumed azimuth is adopted to enable completion of field survey, and subsequent calculations and adjustments to swing onto azimuth are made. |
| 1.7. | Azimuth derived from marks at opposite extremities of survey is calculated. |
| 1.8. | Relationship between alignment marks, kerb lines, kerb as laid, and occupations is interpreted when azimuth is fixed using alignment marks, kerbs and occupations shown in alignment plans. |
| | | |
2. | Undertake mark-out survey and fix front and rear corners, angles and line marks. | 2.1. | Azimuth is established by direct or indirect means and front corners of allotment are fixed. |
| 2.2. | Side fix is established for the allotment using occupations, and monuments or reference marks. |
| 2.3. | Direct methods are used to establish positions of rear corners. |
| 2.4. | Traverse and calculations from street azimuth and side fix are made to set out rear corners by indirect means. |
| 2.5. | Requirement to use line marks on long or obstructed boundaries is identified. |
| 2.6. | Suitable checking procedure to validate positioning of all placed marks is identified and followed. |
| | | |
3. | Meet local government building requirements. | 3.1. | Re-mark surveys and local government siting requirements for the issue of building certificate are met. |
| 3.2. | Relevant survey regulations relating to supervision and accuracy of surveys, field procedures, and survey searching are adhered to. |
| 3.3. | Field notes are prepared according to organisational requirements and legal and statutory standards. |
| | | |
4. | Calculate identification survey. | 4.1. | Position of improvements in relation to boundaries is calculated using industry-accepted methods. |
| 4.2. | Position of improvements in relation to set-out buildings is calculated using coordinate system. |
| | | |
5. | Prepare draft survey report and sketches. | 5.1. | Draft survey report and accompanying sketches are prepared for a re-mark survey according to organisational requirements. |
| 5.2. | Physical constraints and environmental impacts of development are incorporated into report. |
