Modification History

Release 1.

Replaces superseded equivalent CPPSIS5031A Plan spatial data collection and validation.

This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 3.

Application

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to develop and document a spatial data collection plan that meets client specifications. The unit covers analysing project specifications and client instructions to evaluate and determine appropriate data acquisition and collection options. The unit requires the ability to use technology to manage spatial data and prepare the written plan. It also requires the ability to assess the technical, financial, legal and resource implications of the project in order to select the preferred collection options.

The unit supports those who work in a lead role in a surveying or spatial information services team in areas such as surveying, cartography, town planning, mapping and geographic information systems (GIS).

No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.

  • select a preferred spatial data collection method for inclusion in the plan based on evaluation of available options
  • apply industry-accepted methods for assessing validity and integrity of spatial data
  • apply contingency measures and risk management strategies to the planning process
  • comply with organisational requirements for:
  • allocating resources and working within budgetary constraints
  • communicating with clients and spatial data providers
  • recording and reporting information, and completing documentation
  • using the equipment specified in the assessment conditions
  • working safely when using screen-based equipment
  • comply with legal requirements relating to client service provision, and accessing spatial data
  • exercise precision when archiving, retrieving and managing spatial data.
