Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

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!

AHCNAR402A - Plan the implementation of revegetation works

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Carry out preliminary planning activities for revegetation works

  1. Client preferences and contract requirements including the scope of the work for the revegetation project are confirmed and verified.
  2. Specific statutory obligations and site responsibilities that may affect the implementation of works are identified.
  3. An initial site visit is conducted to verify the biophysical and other factors of the project area including environmental considerations and historical modifications.
  4. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) obligations associated with the revegetation works are identified, OHS hazards are assessed and controls developed, costed and documented in the implementation plan according to enterprise guidelines.
  5. The availability, quantity and costs of plants and other materials listed in the project schedules are verified.
Client preferences and contract requirements including the scope of the work for the revegetation project are confirmed and verified.

Prepare a staged plan of work

  1. Resources, tools and equipment required for revegetation procedures and ongoing maintenance of the site are identified, costed and availability confirmed with suppliers, contractors and appropriate personnel.
  2. Site access and establishment issues are investigated to consider and plan for the environmental impacts of site work practices, avoid safety hazards to workers or the public, and minimise disruption to site works during the construction period.
  3. A program of works is prepared to provide a sequential allocation of resources and work tasks to meet the project contract timelines.
  4. Timelines are developed for site establishment, the establishment period and maintenance of works.
  5. Seasonal factors and impacts are incorporated in the staging strategy to allow for planting supply and care, wet day access, machinery use, fire hazards and establishment period.
  6. Where required, special project works related to habitat resource development and enhancement are included in the staged implementation plan.
  7. Document the staged implementation plan.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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.

Overview of assessment

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

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 timelines for the establishment and maintenance phases of the project

document the staged implementation plan.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

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

prepare schedules for implementation of revegetation works

use literacy skills to read, interpret and follow organisational policies and procedures, develop sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legibly information collected and select and apply procedures to a range of tasks

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification, negotiating solutions and responding to a range of views

use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record routine and more complex workplace measures and data

use interpersonal skills to work with others and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.

Required knowledge

awareness of the role of revegetation works in the restoration of the environment

practical understanding of the environmental issues associated with undertaking revegetation works, and the need to comply with legislation and ensure that the impact on the environment is minimal

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

identification, propagation and establishment techniques of specific native plant species

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

practical understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of a range of revegetation procedures

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
