The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Evidence:
|
Legislative and regulatory requirements are researched, identified and documented in the improvement plan. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Specific requirements for sustainability are identified from the brief, business plan and management plan or policy documentation. Completed |
Evidence:
|
The land area is assessed for biophysical factors, biodiversity, historical and cultural attributes, services, site modifications and threats to sustainability. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Environmental implications of the planned works are identified and, if necessary, reported to relevant personnel for further research and recommendations. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Prepare an integrated design to improve land use
|
|
Concept plan for improvement is developed that reflects client preferences and requirements and takes into account heritage issues, site factors and any identified environmental requirements and presented to the client/land owner for discussion and approval. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Other professionals are consulted to assist in research and planning of works in areas of technical expertise, energy efficiency and use, current technologies and legislative and enterprise requirements. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Design considerations for products, materials and finishes are efficient, low risk and cyclic and are confirmed available from local sources. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Resources, products, equipment and machinery required for the works are evaluated for their impact on the sustainable use of the site. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Plants and soils are selected for their integrated roles for the designed outcomes in the specific site conditions, system of irrigation and environmental parameters. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Environmental conditions are reviewed for a functional analysis of the site and the planned design. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Detailed plan or design, specifications and quotation are prepared and are presented to the client/land owner for acceptance. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Plan the implementation into the design
|
|
Staged implementation and development are outlined with appropriate access for future works. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Timelines for development are incorporated taking into account the needs of the implementation plan and principles of sustainability. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Schedules for planting and post-planting care are determined in accordance with the requirements of the plant species and cultivars, site conditions, and any other planning requirements. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Protection of water resources, riparian zones, specified trees and existing vegetation are integrated into the design plan. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Chemical, non-chemical, amelioration application and waste disposal procedures and processes are reviewed to select designs of minimal environmental consequence and minimise potential contamination of soils and ground water. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Implementation outline is reviewed for integration of approach to land and water management. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Audit the implementation for sustainability of use
|
|
All work materials, waste and debris from site works have low risk and energy efficient disposal methods. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Soil and ground water quality are sampled and tested and recommendations implemented. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Soil conservation measures and erosion sediment controls are confirmed. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Protection measures for specified trees, protected fauna and areas and objects of cultural significance are verified. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Biodiversity, heritage and cultural attributes, soil and water quality are maintained or improved. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Client is informed and provided with a report according to the brief or contractual requirements. Completed |
