Coordinate and monitor the operation of drainage systems

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills required to coordinate and monitor drainage systems to ensure compliance with the drainage systems management plan, including system performance, maintenance planning and customer liaison.

This unit applies to those working as field or operational staff with a specific responsibility for ensuring that the operation of drainage systems complies with organisational and statutory requirements.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to, particularly those related to WHS.

Those undertaking this unit would work independently or in a team, while performing complex tasks ensuring minimum damage to the environment, in a familiar context. However, the level of responsibility may vary according to the size, scope, location, and technical complexity of process.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.

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