This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to apply legislation, regulations, codes of practice and standards when designing and installing telecommunications equipment and infrastructure in access networks.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Evaluate project brief for activities that are subject to legislation, regulations, codes of practice and standards
- 1.1 Identify and document project activities and outcomes that are subject to legislation, regulations, codes of practice and standards
- 1.2 Examine organisational procedures that have been developed to deal with these requirements
- 1.3 Use knowledge bases, authorities’ and other external records for information relevant to these project activities and outcomes, and identify their regulatory requirements
- 1.4 Evaluate and document how these regulatory requirements may impact on the design and construction of the telecommunications project
2. Evaluate design of telecommunications project for activities that require approval to enter land or premises
- 2.1 Determine project activities to be undertaken during survey and construction that require access to land or premises
- 2.2 Determine rights of entry and required notifications to enter property for the purpose of designing and executing a telecommunications project
- 2.3 Examine courses of action available in case of dispute
- 2.4 Access legislation that governs carriers and service providers to determine the rights of carriers and service providers in installing facilities under Commonwealth legislation
- 2.5 Document procedures for obtaining the required access to land or premises
3. Examine the processes necessary to facilitate the completion of a design to meet relevant regulatory requirements
- 3.1 Review studies and information gathered to develop a design that complies with requirements
- 3.2 Discuss with expert stakeholders the steps necessary to meet the legislative requirements of network infrastructure design
- 3.3 Compare the solutions to regulatory requirements with financial plans to ensure budgetary requirements for the design project are met
- 3.4 Produce a report on project activities incorporating enterprise-specific policies and regulatory compliance requirements
4. Document compliance procedures and execute legally binding agreements
- 4.1 Gather reports and studies that support the design and construction activities, and incorporate into final design documentation
- 4.2 Document all activities for evidence of compliance with requirements in case of future actions
- 4.3 Ensure legally binding documentation that fulfils obligations with regard to land or premises access is signed by relevant parties as required
- 4.4 Identify alternative courses of action to be used in case of dispute prior to or after an agreement is signed by all parties

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.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
produce a detailed report for a telecommunications design project identifying the regulatory requirements for each aspect of the project
produce a report detailing practices to mitigate the impact of a design project and the regulatory requirements addressed
produce a summary report detailing a designer’s and contractor’s obligations to access land under the Telecommunications Act and code of practice.
Context of, and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
relevant legislation and planning processes
telecommunications industry Regulatory Accounting Framework (RAF)
planning tools, enterprise-specific investment management system (IMS), relevant databases, licensing requirements and other related procedures.
Methods of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
review of evaluation and summary reports completed by the candidate
oral or written questioning to assess required knowledge.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplaces and job role is recommended, for example:
ICTNPL4108A Plan the deployment of access network architectures
ICTNPL4151A Plan the telecommunications access network for an estate.
Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
