Qualification -
Unit of Competency LGAPLEM507A - Maintain spatial database
Description This unit covers the input of spatial and textual data and the creation of data sets.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in councils of all sizes. Knowledge of the legislation and regulations within which councils must operate is essential. The unique nature of councils, as a tier of government directed by elected members and reflecting the needs of local communities, must be appropriately reflected.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
Prerequisites/co-requisites Not applicable.

Element: Create relationships
  • Relationships between data sets are created in accordance with policy, procedures and industry standards.
       
Element: Create and maintain data sets
  • Data is captured and integrated into system in line with council's geographic information systems (GIS) standards.
  • User requirements for accuracy are met by the data captured.
  • Data is updated and upgraded to ensure required levels of accuracy are achieved.
       


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.

Overview of assessment requirements

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit will be able to perform the outcomes described in the Elements to the required performance level detailed in the Performance Criteria. The knowledge and skill requirements described in the Range Statement must also be demonstrated. For example, knowledge of the legislative framework and safe work practices that underpin the performance of the unit are also required to be demonstrated.

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered

Geometry, mathematics and spatial referencing system concepts are applied appropriately.

Context of assessment

On the job or in a simulated work environment.

Method of assessment

The following assessment methods are suggested:

observation of the learner performing a range of workplace tasks over sufficient time to demonstrate handling of a range of contingencies

written and/or oral questioning to assess knowledge and understanding

completion of workplace documentation

third-party reports from experienced practitioners

completion of self-paced learning materials including personal reflection and feedback from trainer, coach or supervisor

Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance

Evidence will need to be gathered over time across a range of variables.

Resource implications

Access to:

GIS database

examples of council policies, procedures and standards

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit

Required Skills

analysing options

researching and accessing information

attention to detail

Required Knowledge

cadastral features

land law

geographical positioning system

council policies and standards relating to GIS industry standards

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 in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.

Integrity of data may include:

accuracy

quality, which may be affected by age or condition of hard copy documents

currency

completeness

resolution

confidence limits

scale

Relationships may include:

historical or new relationships

relationships between virtual features

Integration of data may include:

conversion

input

GIS standards may include:

survey accuracy for engineering purposes

sufficient accuracy for town planning needs using large-scale plans and maps

graphical accuracy to meet clerical administration needs

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.
