Description
This unit covers the competency to manage unallocated Crown land, unleased land and reserved land with no appointed manager. It includes identifying land requiring management action; undertaking consultations; developing strategies for the management of land; implementing land management strategies; monitoring land use, condition and trend; and taking a strategic approach to the jurisdiction's land asset portfolio.In practice, management of unallocated land may overlap with other generalist or specialist public sector work activities such as ethical leadership, compliance with legislation, applying government systems, managing resources, providing strategic direction, managing diversity.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication
