Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge to scope requirements, assess land site suitability, arrange site acquisition, and produce building design plans for a telecommunications building project.It applies to individuals working for private and public organisations who combine technical design and organisational skills to apply planning principles for provisioning of the various building projects and technologies within a telecommunications network to meet future customer demands.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Scope design options
  • 1.1 Determine the nature, purpose and type of new facilities in the proposed project from project specifications obtained from planners
  • 1.2 Analyse project brief to scope requirements of the project and consider design options with consideration to legislation governing carriers in Australia
  • 1.3 Evaluate design requirements to determine optimal site selection for the project to house facilities
  • 1.4 Arrange an environmental impact study (EIS) to be conducted on the selected site with project requirements to assess suitability of the site
2. Evaluate and arrange land acquisition
  • 2.1 Evaluate findings of the EIS to determine suitability of the land for the project
  • 2.2 Prepare a justification report on a favourable EIS and consult affected property owners to establish a base for negotiation
  • 2.3 Determine potential for land acquisition or purchase from analysis of previously gathered data and EIS findings and ensure compliance with regulations and legislation
3. Analyse area and select design option
  • 3.1 Analyse physical attributes of the area, possible environmental impacts and previously collected data to prepare design options
  • 3.2 Prepare field sketch according to enterprise requirements and develop solutions to any obvious physical impediment to construction
  • 3.3 Produce design options for the area that are viable for the enterprise and recommend a preferred option with justifications
  • 3.4 Evaluate selection of preferred option to ensure enterprise business strategy outcomes and policies are satisfied
4. Notify interested parties
  • 4.1 Assess resources available for project implementation to ensure works are within the enterprise’s schedule
