Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to plan the allocation and usage of space consistent with a concept or business plan. This unit is applicable to work in many industries. Significant underpinning knowledge of the particular work context is required. This work would usually be carried out autonomously and may include responsibility for others.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Establish work space requirements.
- 1.1 Review and analyse relevant workplace documentation to determine space requirements.1.2 Consult users of the space and other relevant stakeholders to clarify requirements about usage of the space.1.3 Analyse potential usage patterns to determine specific requirements and constraints.
2 Allocate work space.
- 2.1 Assess the physical characteristics of the space in relation to its capacity to meet requirements.2.2 Assess safety and environmental issues that may impact on the organisation of space.2.3 Establish criteria for the allocation of space in accordance with organisational/project objectives. 2.4 Consult and reach agreement on criteria for allocation of space with relevant stakeholders.
- 2.5 Allocate space in accordance with agreed criteria.2.6 Identify, negotiate and resolve any conflicting demands for space in accordance with criteria.2.7 Develop plans in an appropriate format which clearly communicate the allocation of space and identify any additional equipment/infrastructure requirements.
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, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. 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) may also be included.
Workplace documentation may include:
architectural plans
artist/installation instructions and requirement
business plan
concept sketches
design concepts
floor plans.
Work space may include:
exhibition, performance space
food preparation and outlet space
office, administration space
public facilities
retail space
storage areas, including collection storage
studio, workshop.
Users of space and other relevant stakeholders may include:
artists, exhibitors, performers working or exhibiting in the space
commercial partners
staff
visitors, patrons, customers.
Safety and environmental issues may relate to:
access limitations
ergonomics
hygiene
numbers of people using the space
specific equipment requirements
waste disposal.
Organisational/project objectives which affect criteria for space allocation may relate to:
access issues
balancing of competing demands for space
commercial viability
requirements of other users.
Appropriate format for plans may be:
annotated floor plans
computer drawings
sketches.
Additional equipment/infrastructure may include:
food servery
furniture
hanging, installation equipment
lights, heating, projection equipment
storage equipment
technical equipment, e.g. computers, photocopiers

EVIDENCE GUIDE
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
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
production of a plan which meets agreed objectives for usage of a specific work space
integration of relevant safety requirements into the planning of space.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
practical demonstration of skills through the development of plans for a specific work space and to meet a specific industry requirement.
Method of assessment
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
evaluation of plans developed by the candidate
problem solving and case studies to assess ability to adapt planning to meet different industry circumstances
review of portfolios of evidence
third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
Assessment of this unit requires access to a specific work space for which plans can be developed.
