Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to plan the implementation of revegetation works.This unit applies to supervisors of revegetation programs who supervise others and provide and communicate solutions to a range of predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Carry out preliminary planning activities for revegetation works
  • Confirm client preferences and contract requirements including the scope of the work for the revegetation project
  • Identify statutory obligations and site responsibilities that may affect the implementation of works
  • Conduct an initial site visit to verify the biophysical and other factors of the project area including environmental considerations and historical modifications
  • Identify work health and safety obligations, assess hazards and develop controls
  • Verify the availability, quantity and costs of plants and other materials listed in the project schedules
       
Element: Prepare a staged plan of work
  • Identify, cost and confirm availability of materials, tools and equipment required for revegetation procedures and ongoing maintenance of the site
  • Investigate site access and establishment issues
  • Prepare a program of works which incorporates a plan to minimise environmental impacts of works and work health and safety practices
  • Develop timelines for site establishment, the establishment period and maintenance of works
  • Incorporate seasonal factors and impacts in the staging strategy
  • Include special project works related to habitat resource development and enhancement in the implementation plan, where required
  • Document the staged implementation plan
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Performance criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Carry out preliminary planning activities for revegetation works

1.1 Confirm client preferences and contract requirements including the scope of the work for the revegetation project

1.2 Identify statutory obligations and site responsibilities that may affect the implementation of works

1.3 Conduct an initial site visit to verify the biophysical and other factors of the project area including environmental considerations and historical modifications

1.4 Identify work health and safety obligations, assess hazards and develop controls

1.5 Verify the availability, quantity and costs of plants and other materials listed in the project schedules

2. Prepare a staged plan of work

2.1 Identify, cost and confirm availability of materials, tools and equipment required for revegetation procedures and ongoing maintenance of the site

2.2 Investigate site access and establishment issues

2.3 Prepare a program of works which incorporates a plan to minimise environmental impacts of works and work health and safety practices

2.4 Develop timelines for site establishment, the establishment period and maintenance of works

2.5 Incorporate seasonal factors and impacts in the staging strategy

2.6 Include special project works related to habitat resource development and enhancement in the implementation plan, where required

2.7 Document the staged implementation plan

The candidate must be assessed on their ability to integrate and apply the performance requirements of this unit in a workplace setting. Performance must be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.

The candidate must provide evidence that they can:

plan the implementation of revegetation works

investigate site access and establishment issues

plan for environmental impacts of site work practices and minimise safety risks to workers and the public

assess site for opportunities and constraints associated with implementation of revegetation works

establish the purpose and client preferences for the site to be revegetated

carry out a site visit and confirm any planning requirements

develop a plan for the site, detailing the resources required and the program of works

develop schedules for the establishment and maintenance phases of the project

document the staged implementation plan

incorporate seasonal factors and impacts in the staging strategy to allow for planting, supply and care, wet day access, machinery use, fire hazards and establishment

include work health and safety practices in plan

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

the role of revegetation works in the restoration of the environment

the environmental issues associated with undertaking revegetation works, how to comply with legislation and ensure that the impact on the environment is minimal, including:

principles of ecology including specific native plant and animal relationships and habitat requirements

identification, propagation and establishment techniques of specific native plant species

chemical, cultural and biological weed and feral animal control techniques

soil conservation and enhancement techniques and their advantages and disadvantages in reference to specific sites and habitats

soil erosion control and stormwater management techniques

maintenance requirements and practices for native plants prior to and after initial establishment

growth habits and cultural requirements of specific native plants under a range of soil and environmental conditions

site evaluation techniques including methods of analysing soils, waterways and their condition

practical understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of options for revegetation procedures

work health and safety hazards associated with undertaking revegetation works and the controls necessary to remove or minimise risks associated with them

contract documents including specifications, plans of landscape works, services, supplies and surveyors documents

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
