Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Scope requirements
  • Determine reasons for development of a regional plan to identify broad goals and legislative requirements
  • Identify prior regional planning work as input to proposed regional planning process
       
Element: Determine regional boundaries
  • Determine regional boundaries from economic, environmental and social factors, that will produce a coherent plan
  • Identify economic, environmental and social factors that overlap the proposed regional boundaries to develop a scope and weighting of the factors
  • Review previous plans and reports to verify the suitability of the proposed regional boundaries
  • Meet program requirements for the development of regional plans in the identification of regional boundaries
       
Element: Identify regional resource management issues
  • Research regional natural resource issues from past documentation and from stakeholder views
  • Research and assess current and potential impacts of government, economic, industry, environmental and social factors on natural resource management issues
  • Estimate the likely depth of research required to obtain sufficient information on issues for planning purposes
       
Element: Scope stakeholders in regional resource management planning process
  • Scope economic, industry, social and government activities to identify influential organisations, groups and people and their particular interests
  • Approach organisations and groups to determine their interests, viewpoints on natural resource management issues, and willingness to participate in regional planning process
  • Identify nature of community involvement in planning process from understanding of issues and community
       
Element: Develop proposal for regional plan
  • Review the objectives of the plan after scoping to determine feasibility of proposed processes
  • Develop proposal for a new or revised plan to obtain funding
  • Make estimates of time to complete tasks including time for consultations and approvals and any discussion with Indigenous communities and groups
