What evidence is required to demonstrate competence for this standard as a whole

Competence in implementing revegetation works requires evidence that a site has been appropriately revegetated and maintained according to enterprise guidelines and industry best practice The skills and knowledge required to implement revegetation works must be transferable to a range of work environments and contexts For example this could include different environments plant species and revegetation techniques

What specific knowledge is needed to achieve the performance criteria

Knowledge and understanding are essential to apply this standard in the workplace to transfer the skills to other contexts and to deal with unplanned events The knowledge requirements for this unit are listed below

Revegetation techniques

Ecosystems provenance and habitat requirements

Factors affecting the timing and method of planting

Identification of pests and diseases of trees

Principles and methods relating to the prevention and control of pests and diseases

Safety requirements when handling and using hazardous goods

Nutrient requirements of a range of plant species and cultivars

Physiology of plant growth

Techniques for protecting and securinganchoring trees and shrubs

Plant selection and culture

Soils and nutrients

Calculations for materials

What specific skills are needed to achieve the performance criteria

To achieve the performance criteria some complementary skills are required These skills include the ability to

Prepare equipment and materials

Prepare a planting site

Effect revegetation works

Maintain revegetated site

What processes should be applied to this competency standard

There are a number of processes that are learnt throughout work and life which are required in all jobs They are fundamental processes and generally transferable to other work functions Some of these are covered by the key competencies although others may be added The questions below highlight how these processes are applied in this competency standard Following each question a number in brackets indicates the level to which the key competency needs to be demonstrated where not required perform the process perform and administer the process and perform administer and design the process
