Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


The civil works maintenance and implementation plan may cover the execution of a specific part of an overall civil works maintenance program. It may cover a specific geographic section or a specific class of work (e.g. bridge maintenance) that forms part of a larger program. This unit is appropriate for those working in a management role or as a technical specialist, to implement of civil works maintenance programs within:

Civil construction

This unit covers the implementation of civil works maintenance programs in Civil Construction. It includes the requirements to prepare for planning, as well as preparing detailed implementation plans and initiating the implementation, monitoring, adjusting, reporting and supporting the implementation of civil works maintenance programs.

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

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.

Overview of assessment

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to worksite operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge and the range statement of this unit and include evidence of the following:

knowledge of the requirements, procedures and instructions for the implementation of civil works maintenance programs

implementation of procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient the implementation of civil works maintenance programs

the identification of the relevant information and scope of the work required to meet the required outcomes

the identification of viable options and the selection of civil works maintenance programs that best meet the required outcomes

working with others to undertake and complete the implementation of civil works maintenance programs

consistent successful implementation of civil works maintenance programs

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit must be assessed in the context of the work environment. Where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment may occur in a simulated environment provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of workplace performance, including task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.

Evidence for assessment is best gathered using the outcomes of products and processes of the workplace.

The assessment environment should not disadvantage the participant. For example, language, literacy and numeracy demands of assessment should not be greater than those required on the job.

Customisation of assessment and delivery environment to sensitively accommodate cultural diversity.

Aboriginal people and other people from a non English speaking background may have second language issues.

Assessment of this competency requires typical resources normally used in a civil works environment. Selection and use of resources for particular worksites may differ due to site circumstances.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required.

Method of assessment

This unit may be assessed in a holistic way with other units of competency. The assessment strategy for this unit must verify required knowledge and skill and practical application using more than one of the following assessment methods:

written and/or oral assessment of the candidate's required knowledge to apply in undertaking of the implementation of civil works maintenance programs

observed, documented and/or first hand testimonial evidence of the candidate's:

implementation of appropriate procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient achievement of the required outcomes

identification of the relevant information and scope of the work required to meet the required outcomes

identification of viable options and the selection of civil works maintenance programs that best meet the required outcomes

consistently achieving the required outcomes

first hand testimonial and documentary evidence of the candidate's:

working with others to undertake and complete the implementation of civil works maintenance programs

provision of clear and timely required support and advice on the implementation of civil works maintenance programs

Guidance information for assessment
