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 openspace planning

conduct research planning and consultation to determine openspace 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 contingencymanagement 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 openspace 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 openspace demands

appropriate persons to gain approvals

resources to undertake the openspace planning

organisational documentation relevant to openspace 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 openspace needs

oral and or written questioning to assess knowledge of research and datacollection techniques to conduct a feasibility study

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

thirdparty 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
