Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to construct access tracks and clear vegetation on rural land.This unit applies to workers in land management who are required to implement erosion control principles and apply specialised earthmoving techniques to fine tolerances. Work is often carried out in varied conditions and landscapes that require operators to develop skills that are unique to this sector.All work is undertaken in accordance with relevant national, State, and local legislation and/or regulations. This unit applies to individuals who work under broad direction and use discretion and judgement in the selection and use of available resources.Licenses for vehicles and machinery may be required for this unit.
