Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Incorporate structures and features into a landscape design
  • 1.1 Identify and locate design structures and features to maximise efficient use of the space
  • 1.2 Identify and source any required preliminary specialist expertise
  • 1.3 Select materials that reflect the style and aesthetic of overall design concept
  • 1.4 Assess suitability of constructed elements in relation to physical properties of soils on site
  • 1.5 Assess effects of surface and subsurface water and drainage patterns on constructed elements
  • 1.6 Assess drainage requirements to ensure integrity of constructed elements in design
2. Determine construction requirements
  • 2.1 Evaluate factors that impact on selection and construction of elements in the design
  • 2.2 Select materials according to properties and application within the design
  • 2.3 Determine construction techniques that support design, fit timelines and meet budget requirements
  • 2.4 Identify surface treatments appropriate for selected materials and design
3. Assess the need for supplementary water in a landscape design
  • 3.1 Identify available water in the landscape
  • 3.2 Determine the feasibility of using available water in the landscape
  • 3.3 Identify appropriate irrigation methods to support the design
  • 3.4 Incorporate irrigation requirements into the design or design documentation
4. Source technical services and expertise
