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 | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Analyse transport needs. | 1.1.Determine event transport needs based on analysis of key event information. 1.2.Identify and assess transport needs of different event stakeholders, including those with special needs. 1.3.Assess need for assistance from transport specialists or involvement of authorities in the transport planning process. |
2. Develop transport strategy. | 2.1.Source and analyse transport options and resources in consultation with relevant suppliers. 2.2.Assess transport issues and risks presented by event location and geography. 2.3.Analyse and respond to compliance requirements. 2.4.Analyse and incorporate transport issues and risks into transport strategy development. 2.5.Evaluate and respond to broader event management constraints and issues as they relate to event transport. 2.6.Consult with event stakeholders about transport strategies at appropriate times prior to the event. 2.7.Develop evaluation criteria for the transport strategy in consultation with stakeholders. |
3. Develop transport operational plan. | 3.1.Develop and document transport procedures for event components, including contingency procedures. 3.2.Determine and document internal and external resource requirements to maximise use, cost-effectiveness and profitability. 3.3.Identify critical tasks and allocate responsibilities and timelines. 3.4.Develop contractor specifications as required. 3.5.Obtain approval for plan from relevant stakeholders. 3.6.Provide operational information to staff and other stakeholders. |
4. Evaluate transport strategy. | 4.1.Evaluate efficiency and effectiveness of the transport strategy and plan based on agreed evaluation criteria. 4.2.Incorporate outcomes of evaluation into future planning. |
Evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit in the context of the job role, and:
analyse key event information to identify, assess, and determine transport needs for two different events with multiple operational components
develop a transport strategy for one of the above events, demonstrating analysis of:
event constraints and issues:
event objectives
budget
human resources
other staging requirements
competing events
transport issues and risks:
access to venue or site
availability of services
available communication networks
delays
distance between event venues and facilities
sustainability and environmental considerations
security, access restrictions, accreditation requirements and threats
signage
develop a transport operational plan for one of the above events which:
maximises efficient use, cost, effectiveness and profitability relating to transport
documents specific details for each of the following transport procedures:
provision for those with disabilities
communication between transportation bodies
emergency services presence and access
human resource requirements: drivers, guides marshals and site supervisors
parking
pick-up and drop-off locations
security
timetabling
training requirements
vehicle refuelling
contingency plans for breakdowns, delays, illness and weather
evaluate the above transport strategy and plan against the following evaluation criteria:
attendance targets
environmental targets
financial targets
service targets
time targets for the movement of people, resources and equipment.
Demonstrated knowledge required to complete the tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit:
types of events that require the development of dedicated transport strategies
information to develop event transport plans:
authorities; emergency services, land management and protection agencies
dates, times and duration of event
general nature of event
level of government involvement; local and state
location
numbers attending
scope of physical staging elements
sources of specialist assistance for complex transport planning
transport options and alternatives for consideration in the planning process:
private:
airlines
coach
taxis
hire cars, minibuses and limousines
charter services
disabled transport
public:
trains
buses
ferries
light rail and trams
legislation, regulations and industry codes that affect transport planning
transport strategy resource requirements:
financial
human
physical
issues and risks associated with event transport
transport procedures for the events specified in the performance evidence.
Skills must be demonstrated in an operational events business context where development of event transport plans is required. This can be:
a live event
a simulated industry event set up for the purpose of skills assessment.
Assessment must ensure access to:
dedicated event budgets
comprehensive event plans
formal communications plans
current industry documentation and publications relating to transport options
geographic information for venues, sites and local area
operational information:
contingency procedures
emergency information and procedures
event rosters, running sheets and schedules
route maps between venues and sites
event stakeholders with whom the individual consults; these can be:
those in an industry workplace who are assisted by the individual during the assessment process; or
individuals who participate in role plays or simulated activities, set up for the purpose of assessment, in a simulated industry environment operated within a training organisation.
Assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations’ requirements for assessors; and:
have worked in industry for at least three years where they have applied the skills and knowledge of this unit of competency.
