    Overview

    Introduction to the principles of sustainable land development and management in Aotearoa New Zealand’s built and natural environments: land administration, land rights, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, planning, and engineering design.

    SURV130 will introduce you to the diverse ways in which surveyors synthesise positioning and measurement with other human concerns regarding the land surface, including rights in, indigenous and colonial/settler contexts of, and design interactions with the land surface.
