NZ Cadastral Survey Rules 2021 @ Novotel Hotel, Cathedral Square, Christchurch
Jun 25 @ 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
NZ Cadastral Survey Rules 2021 @ Novotel Hotel, Cathedral Square, Christchurch

Although it has been almost 50 years since there have been a requirement for field information to be lodged, Sec 71 (e) of the Cadastral Rules for Survey 2021 requires the submission of “all relevant field information, in a form that ensures permanent usability”.

While surveyors have been retaining field information electronically, LINZ has found that in many cases the data has been inadequate or needs specific software, or there can be difficulty identifying raw measurements after processing or to relate them to the dataset.

This seminar will share insights from knowledgeable suppliers and practitioners to assist surveyors develop systems and processes to comply with the Rules and to present electronic field data in a clearly readable way.

Participants can attend in person or online.
