Undertake open-space planning

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit applies to those who work as operations managers or program managers who are responsible for planning, implementing and evaluating sport, fitness and recreation programs and activities requiring open spaces. Work would be undertaken autonomously with responsibility for management of resources.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to undertake research to determine supply and demand for open spaces in order to develop and implement an action plan for open-space planning for sport, fitness and recreation programs and activities.

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

Prerequisites

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

Evidence of the ability to:

conduct a feasibility study in consultation with stakeholders to determine requirements and resources for open-space planning

conduct research, planning and consultation to determine open-space supply and demand relevant to sport, fitness and recreation activities in own work environment, and analyse and evaluate information collected to develop a work plan according to organisation policies and procedures and legislative requirements

prioritise competing demands for open space to develop, implement and monitor a work schedule and seek feedback from users and stakeholders on the effectiveness of the work plan

apply effective contingency-management techniques to deal with a range of problems and issues that may arise in relation to competing demands for open space.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

development and implementation of a work plan for open-space planning which reflects local requirements and is of sufficient breadth to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

a regional open space

resources and information on the location

target groups with open-space demands

appropriate persons to gain approvals

resources to undertake the open-space planning

organisational documentation relevant to open-space planning.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

observation of interacting with a range of target groups to establish open-space needs

oral and or written questioning to assess knowledge of research and data-collection techniques to conduct a feasibility study

portfolio containing evidence of work plans for open-space planning, feasibility study and research and demographic profiles for open spaces

third-party reports from a supervisor detailing appropriate work performed by the individual.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

Required knowledge

legislation to enable the collection and use of information from stakeholders and the development of a work plan to effectively manage open spaces

organisation policies and procedures to:

collect information responsibly

consult stakeholders

evaluate options for open-space planning to enable effective open-space management of competing demands
