Unit Descriptor
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to develop, monitor and maintain geographic information systems (GIS) to produce specified data outcomes for geographic information.
Application of the Unit
This unit of competency supports the application of planning, organising, monitoring, problem-solving, error analysis and accuracy; designing and interpreting technical documentation; and a practical understanding of technology. The skills and knowledge acquired on completion of this unit would support the needs of employees in surveying and spatial information services (SSIS).
Licensing/Regulatory Information
No licensing, legislative and regulatory requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.

Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the required performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge and/or the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 |
Develop applications. |
1.1 |
Client needs and constraints in relation to GIS are identified and clarified in consultation with end users to establish end result specifications . |
1.2 |
Information required to achieve result is defined and required data sets are determined. |
||
1.3 |
Service options are evaluated and application requirements are determined via internal and external sources . |
||
1.4 |
Pilot applications are tested and production systems are implemented in consultation with relevant personnel and according to industry standards . |
||
1.5 |
Applications are customised to meet the needs of the client. |
2 |
Monitor effectiveness of applications. |
2.1 |
Applications are monitored and evaluated against end user requirements. |
2.2 |
Applications are modified as appropriate to meet client and end user requirements. |
3 |
Customise processes to improve the efficiency of GIS environments. |
3.1 |
Appropriate macros and scripts are designed for customising software applications to meet client needs. |
3.2 |
Customisations are automated where appropriate. |
||
3.3 |
Graphical user interfaces (GUI) are created and customised to meet requirements of end users. |
4 |
Manage and store spatial data sets. |
4.1 |
New source data is updated and inserted into a digital base using appropriate hardware and software. |
4.2 |
Appropriate links are created between spatial and textual databases. |
||
4.3 |
Spatial and attribute data is interrogated to achieve required outcome . |
||
4.4 |
Applications for spatial data sets are maintained. |

Evidence Guide
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, the range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package. |
|
Overview of assessment |
This unit of competency could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function, for example CPPSIS6042A Coordinate information gathering and GIS development and CPPSIS6044A Manage GIS data. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of:
|
Specific resources for assessment |
Resource implications for assessment include access to:
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities. |
Context of assessment |
Holistic: based on the performance criteria, evidence guide, range statement, and required skills and knowledge. |
Method of assessment |
Demonstrated over a period of time and observed by the assessor (or assessment team working together to conduct the assessment). Demonstrated competency in a range of situations, which may include customer/workplace interruptions and involvement in related activities normally experienced in the workplace. Obtained by observing activities in the field and reviewing induction information. If this is not practicable, observation in realistic simulated environments may be substituted. |
Guidance information for assessment |
Assessment requires that the clients’ objectives and industry expectations are met. If the clients’ objectives are narrowly defined or not representative of industry needs, it may be necessary to refer to portfolio case studies of a variety of SIS requirements to assess competency. Oral questioning or written assessment and hypothetical situations (scenarios) may be used to assess underpinning knowledge (in assessment situations where the candidate is offered a preference between oral questioning or written assessment, questions are to be identical). Supplementary evidence may be obtained from relevant authenticated correspondence from existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff. All practical demonstration must adhere to the safety and environmental regulations relevant to each State or Territory. |
Range Statement
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. Add any 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. |
