Issue Date: April 2024


Qualification -
Unit of Competency CUVCRS02B - Select sites and plan work
Description This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research potential sites and to plan work for a particular site where the candidate may select or be involved in the selection of a site. This is a support unit for specialisations. The skills and knowledge are not restricted to a specialisation but apply across all specialisations depending on the work context. This work would usually be carried out autonomously although guidance would be available if required. This unit goes beyond and encompasses unit CUVCRS01B Plan work for a nominated site.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application Not Applicable
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
Prerequisites/co-requisites It is highly recommended that this unit be assessed in conjunction with relevant specialisation units plus:CUVCOR04B Originate concept for own work and conduct critical discourseCUVCOR09B Select and apply drawing techniques and media to represent and communicate the concept.Depending on the context, combined assessment and/or training with a range of other units would also be appropriate, e.g.:CUVCRS08B Document the work progressCUVCRS04B Produce technical drawings.

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.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

the selection of a site which is responsive to the conceptual vision

the application of criteria which appropriately addresses and responds to the parameters for site selection

the development of the plan for the production of work.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills through site selection and planning of work for a specific project.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

evaluation of reports prepared by the candidate detailing site selection and work planning processes

case studies to assess ability to select sites for different work concepts/projects

verbal presentation of research options and planning

questioning and discussion about candidate's intentions

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties e.g. speakers of other languages than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

This unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to support the candidate in researching sites and to develop a plan for work at the selected site. Candidates must visit the site as part of this unit.

Submission Requirements

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.

Required skills:

research and analytical skills sufficient to assess factors impacting on site selection and work planning

literacy skills sufficient to source, interpret and document site information for the selected site

numeracy skills sufficient to calculate specifications for the selected site.

Required knowledge:

potential sites for different types of work (relevant to area of specialisation)

issues to be considered when selecting sites, including approval processes required

types of site information needed for planning of work and potential sources

options for documenting planning processes and work procedures

workflow planning techniques in relation to production of work for a site

awareness of copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Conceptual vision includes:

ideas about work that address and respond to the values of a site.

The conceptual vision may be determined by:

the relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical context

the subject matter or theme for the work, e.g. land and place; political, social, cultural issues; spiritual concerns.

Sources of information may include:

discussions or interviews with artists, craftspeople or designers

discussions or interviews with others who are familiar with the potential sites

Internet

libraries, galleries and museums

local council/consent authority

media

personal observations and experience

reference books.

Types of information may include:

physical characteristics of the site (dimensions, flora, fauna, landforms, pathways, roads, buildings, overhead wires, industries, waterways, coastal conditions)

reports, e.g. government, council, weather, geology

requirements relating to development plans

social, economic, historical and cultural characteristics (industrial area, sacred space, heritage values, community meeting place, urban renewal)

technical and/or scientific reports.

Criteria for the selection of a site may include:

access (public and/or materials and equipment)

copyright and intellectual property issues

development consent requirements

environmental issues associated with site specific characteristics

organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to the specific characteristics of a site

physical characteristics

social, economic, cultural or historical values.

The following may also be involved in the selection of the site:

political and economic influences

sacred/religious/cultural significance.

Criteria for selecting work options may include:

consistency with the conceptual vision

financial considerations

heritage/cultural/religious values

occupational health and safety procedures in relation to specific work options for the selected site

practical considerations for equipment and materials and access

work option approval requirements.

Forms of documentation may include:

diagrams

drawings

images e.g. video, digital

photographs, slides

specifications

text notes, e.g. diary entries.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
