Plan work for a nominated site

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


Not Applicable

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research and understand a nominated site in order to plan work for that site. Within this unit the candidate would not be involved in the selection of the site which has been nominated by others. This is a support unit for specialisations. The skills and knowledge are not restricted to a specialisation but apply across all specialisations depending on the work context. This work would usually be carried out under supervision.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Prerequisites

It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with the relevant specialisation units plus:

CUVCOR03B Develop, refine and communicate concept for own work

CUVCOR08B Produce drawings to represent and communicate the concept.

Depending on the context, combined assessment and/or training with a range of other units would also be appropriate, e.g.:

CUVCRS08B Document the work progress

CUVCRS03B Produce computer- aided drawings.

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



Evidence Required

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.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

the selection of an option which is responsive to the characteristics of the nominated site and to the conceptual vision for that work

the development of a work plan for the production of the work.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills through the planning of work for a specific site.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

evaluation of work plans or research completed by the candidate

questioning and discussion of the candidate's intentions and work outcome

verbal presentation of research, options and planning

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties e.g. speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

This unit requires access to resources, materials and equipment to support the candidate in researching a nominated site and developing a plan for work for that site. Although ideally candidates should be able to visit the nominated site as part of this unit, it is also possible for sufficient information to be provided about the site so that a site visit is not essential.

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills:

literacy skills sufficient to source, interpret and document information on the nominated site

numeracy skills sufficient to calculate general specifications for the site.

Required knowledge:

types of site information needed for planning of work and potential sources

options for documenting planning processes and work procedures

workflow planning techniques in relation to production of work for a site

awareness of copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Sources of information may include:

discussions or interviews with artists, designers, or craftspeople

Internet

libraries, museums and galleries

media

personal observations and experience

reference books.

The following may be involved in the selection of the site:

architecture/landscape architecture/urban planning company

artist-run studio

government agency/funding organisation

local arts community

local council.

Types of information may include:

physical characteristics of the site (dimensions, flora, fauna, land forms, pathways, roads, buildings, overhead wires, industries, waterways, coastal conditions)

planning regulations

reports, e.g. government, weather, council, geology

social, economic and historical characteristics (industrial area, sacred space, heritage values, economic conditions, community meeting place, urban renewal).

Forms of documentation may include:

diagrams

drawings

images and text (video, digital)

photographs, slides

specifications

text notes, e.g. diary entries.

Relevant characteristics may include:

environmental considerations

heritage values

physical constraints, e.g. cliffs, access, changing contours of the landscape, weather conditions

political and economic influences

sacred/religious significance.

Criteria for selecting work options may include:

consistency with conceptual vision

copyright and intellectual property issues

financial considerations

heritage/cultural/religious values

practical and environmental considerations for equipment, materials and access

requirements to seek development approval.

Conceptual vision includes:

ideas about work that addresses and responds to the values of a site.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
