Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Establish suitability of development proposal
   • Data concerning suitability of development site is compiled using industry methodology.
   • Alterations or modifications to the development plan are noted and reported to developer or consent authority.
   • Compliance is established with relevant regulatory planning authority or environmental legislation following industry procedures.
   • Concurrence is established relating to suitability of development proposal and conforms to erosion and sediment control guidelines.
2. Develop erosion and sediment control strategy
   • Erosion control measures are developed consistent with industry principles and selection criteria.
   • Sediment control measures are developed consistent with industry principles and selection criteria.
   • Erosion and sediment control strategies are established and documented in co-operation with the developer and relevant consent authority.
3. Prepare an erosion and sediment control plan
   • Selection criteria for earthwork structures or measures are checked against industry guidelines.
   • Design specifications for structures incorporated in plan details.
   • Erosion and sediment control plan and documentation supporting the plan follow industry guidelines.

Evidence Required

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 workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following establish suitability of development proposal prepare reports on erosion and sediment control plans check selection criteria for earthwork structures or measures against industry guidelines develop erosion and sediment control strategy prepare an erosion and sediment control plan
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances
