Elements and Performance Criteria
- Plan for coupe harvest design
- Applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), environmental, legislative and organisational requirements relevant to designing harvesting plans are identified and followed
- Local authority coverage, land ownings are obtained and boundaries are established
- Coupe locations including map and grid references are identified
- Land use zonings are identified or applied for
- Documented environmental issues encountered with previous harvesting plans are analysed and taken into consideration
- Communication with others is established and maintained in line with OHS requirements
- Design harvesting plans
- Forest types, available species and topography are analysed and documented in line with plan and site procedures
- Gross area of each coupe is calculated and nett area to be harvested devised
- Volume estimates are calculated and reported for each coupe
- Operational activities including site preparation environmental considerations and access are designed
- Harvesting and cartage requirements are analysed and calculated
- Schedule for harvesting is designed, checked and communicated
- Review harvesting plan design
