Overview
Surveying measurement and methods in the cadastral context, including boundary definition and presentation of associated datasets. Cadastral systems in Aotearoa New Zealand and dataset requirements for various types of land tenure.
Students will be introduced to a range of cadastral datasets relevant to specific legislation and land tenure. Instruction will be given in the methodology of performing cadastral surveys such that students can conduct a straightforward land transfer survey in Landonline. Students will also be given instruction in the use of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) in cadastral surveys and learn how to conduct limited as to parcels surveys. Students will gain problem-solving skills in the New Zealand cadastral context.
This paper introduces principles of cadastral surveying and concentrates on the definition skills required by the licensed cadastral surveyor and the presentation of datasets to Land Information NZ.
