NZIS President’s
Message
As I enter the final months of my
NZIS Presidency I am amazed
at what the Council, Board and
members have achieved the past
few years. The FIG 2016 Working
Week is an example - next week I
will be heading to the 2015 working
week in Bulgaria as part of the New
Zealand support contingent to
promote our biggest international
event, the FIG 2016 Working Week in
Christchurch next year. The team in
Bulgaria will consist of myself, Simon
Ironside and Hadyn Smith (CEO),
LINZ staff and Otago Survey School
representatives. The week will allow
us to demonstrate how a city can
‘recover from disaster’ to once again thrive and show how surveying and allied
professions have been integral in this renaissance. I encourage everyone to
mark the dates 2-6 May 2016 in their calendars and share in the unprecedented
event.
NZIS Council and Board have been successfully meeting six monthly and
two monthly respectively and continue to provide excellent governance. The
2015-2020 Strategic Plan is complete and will be launched in the coming weeks
to all members. This document provides the blueprint for the next 5 years from
which comes the NZIS Business Plan and Budget.
This year is an election year for NZIS Council and at the October meeting the
Council will elect a new President from within the Council and confirm the
representatives from Professional Streams and Divisions in line with the new
constitution. Members are encouraged to take part and get involved in the
streams and divisions as this inclusiveness allows everyone to play a part and
drive the decision making in NZIS. You can add yourself to Streams and Division
in your website Dashboard.
It is encouraging to see The Way Forward 2013 document beginning to deliver
on the projections with new members from the spatial community joining NZIS

It is really showing the relevance of NZIS to the broader spatial
community as a professional home.
A major topic for NZIS at present, and one that I have been
heavily involved in, is the cadastral boundary situation in
Christchurch. Members’ concerns relating to this issue have
contributed to dialogue and subsequent action taking place
with LINZ. The NZIS Christchurch Working Party has put in a
huge amount of effort into responding to the situation and
have provided detailed information to LINZ’s project team who
are working on a set of solutions in response.
A Canterbury Property Boundaries Leaders Group has been
established by LINZ to support the solutions and expedite these
through appropriate channels to get the best outcomes. Mark
Allan and I are part of this group that includes representatives
from LINZ, CERA, EQC, NZ Law Society, NZ Insurance Council
and Christchurch City Council. The professional reputation
of NZIS is held in high regard by the group and how we have
managed the challenges around the impacts caused by the
shallow ground movement issue. They are keen to work with
the profession to ensure the Canterbury rebuild is not held
up. It is a complex situation, both legally and practically and
solutions will take time to develop and implement to ensure
the integrity of the cadastral system is maintained.
I am aware of concerns some have that NZIS is not doing
enough, however our messages are carefully selected to
focus on clarity and certainty of information relating to the
issues and not to be reactive and or divisive. I will continue to
communicate through NZIS to members where we have clear
direction and progress. The media often look to sensationalise
the situation; it is disappointing and we find the general media
coverage of our messages can fail to emphasise the key points
we see as important. It is a complicated situation and difficult to
get across in simple terms.
Another communication trend noted by National Office, has
been increasing queries from the public concerning surveyor’s
fees and what appears to be a lack of communications relating
to what people are paying for. To avoid this, members are
encouraged to explain carefully to their clients what the scope
of work covers and provide transparency around what will be
charged. As always, fee disputes are not dealt with by NZIS but
where a written complaint is received, the NZIS is bound by
our code of ethics and constitution to uphold high ideals and
we will investigate and potentially sanction members who are
failing to meet professional practice standards.
As a reminder, the NZIS Award of Excellence deadline is looming
and this year, to make it easier for both entrants and judges, we
will trial electronic receipt of project documents and images
using the Dropbox file transfer service. We have decided to
extend the close-off date to the end of June to facilitate the new
process. Watch out for details on the website and in Newslink.

FIG WORKING WEEK:
2-6 May 2016
Web site: www.fig.net/
fig2016
The Canterbury property boundaries work is progressing well
and there have been several meetings between the Canterbury
Property Boundaries Leaders Group established by LINZ and
the NZIS Working Party. The sector leaders group includes Jeff
Needham and Mark Allan along with representatives from LINZ,
CERA, EQC, NZ Law Society, NZ Insurance Council, Christchurch
City Council.
The group met on 1 May to consider potential options for
addressing property boundary issues facing property owners
in Christchurch’s eastern suburbs. It was agreed that the main
objectives of any selected option should be to minimise barriers
to the rebuild associated with boundary uncertainty, and to
provide current and future property owners with continued
confidence in their legal property titles. It was also agreed that
it was important to recognise the realities of ground movement,
and take into account any rebuild activity that has already
occurred on affected properties. Three options were put forward
to be considered against these objectives, which were: that
property boundaries have moved with any earthquake-related
ground movement, that they have not moved, and that the
status quo is maintained.
Over the coming weeks LINZ officials will be exploring with a
broader group of stakeholders the detail and implications of
the option where affected property boundaries have moved
with earthquake-related ground movement. As part of this, LINZ
will involve members of sector organisations as well as others

CANTERBURY BRANCH
Russley Road Monument Relocation
The Canterbury Branch have been involved in a project to the relocate
the Russley Road Baseline Monument to Avonhead Park in Christchurch. Established in 1965 by voluntary
members of the New Zealand Historic Places Trust, the monument commemorates the original Baseline
Survey of the Canterbury Settlement put in by Captain J Thomas, C.O Torlesse and T Cass in September
1849.
Due to increasing access
difficulties over the years,
in 2002 discussions started
between the Trust and
Canterbury Branch to move the
monument culminating in the
relocation to Avonhead Park in
2012.
An Unveiling/Site Celebration
will take place at Avonhead Park
on Friday 15 May at 3.30.

Open Letter to Members of the Surveying Profession (MNZIS)
The NZIS has a long and esteemed history of support and advancement of surveyors, surveying
technology and methods, and continued professional development. Indeed, the membership certificate
of a Member of the Institute claims that it is “. . . an Institute Incorporated for the advancement of the
profession of surveying”.
In the past, the main agent for knowledge sharing has been the Journal of the NZIS – the New Zealand
Surveyor. Over the 127 years since the establishment of the NZIS (est. 1888) there have been 303 issues
of the Journal. The purpose of the Institute, and of the journal, includes “that in the record of experiences
and the discussion of professional subjects, the common stock of knowledge may be enlarged, and the
general level of attainment raised higher” (President’s editorial Vol 1, No.2 December 1889. The Journal of
the NZIS).
It might be asserted that in the current climate of open internet access, high levels of knowledge
(established by the graduate-level entry requirement into the profession), the economic and business
imperatives of the modern professional surveyor (. . . has it ever been anything different?), and the
managerial and administrative focus of the Institute, there is no need or demand for a journal referencing
the experiences and developing knowledge of surveyors.
However, such a short sighted view is a serious encumbrance on the status of surveying as a profession.
The body of knowledge that defines the modern profession of surveying is in an increasingly dynamic
state of expansion in breadth and in depth. The need is as great as it ever was, or may be even greater, to
share the experiences in the practice of the profession as it evolves to incorporate the opportunities for
wider applications of new technology.
The profession must continue to acknowledge and promote the advanced research being undertaken
by both academic surveyors and the applied experiences of practical surveyors by maintaining the long
and strong tradition of the New Zealand Surveyor. While a new format needs to be developed as befits
our digital capacity and it must have a more global reach, resources of both money and expertise should
be applied and, one way or another, the continued publication of the Institute’s flagship Journal, New
Zealand Surveyor, must be an Institute priority.

CADASTRAL CORNER
Interpretation of information on a Diagram of Parcels
Rule 10.4.2 covers various parcel information requirements for a Diagram of Parcels. The Diagram of
Parcels comprises the Title sheet/s of a CSD and any Plan Graphic/s attached. Surveyors need to ensure
that all of the relevant information is shown on the Diagram of Parcels.
For a subdivision where only a few underlying parcels are being subdivided text can be added with
their associated Title or Gazette references to the Title sheet diagrams. However, where there are a large
number of parcels care needs to be taken to ensure that each parcel is depicted in its entirety on at least
one sheet (Rule 10.4.2(d)) and all of the information is clear, unambiguous, and legible when printed at
A4. (Rule 10.4.10).
On the Diagram of Parcels underlying parcel information must depict estate boundaries where they pass
through the land under survey, clearly annotated with their estate record references (Title and/or Gazette
references for example) (Rule 10.4.2(f )). Note that this rule applies even when two neighbouring estates
are held in common ownership.
Plan Generation diagrams automatically include a North point (Rule 10.4.10(c)), however, if a Plan Graphic
is used – as for Cross Lease Flats Plans and Unit Title Developments then ensure the North point is shown.
Other points to note under Rule 10.4.2:
• The spatial relationship between certain parcels is required (Rule 10.4.2(e))
• Where applicable the vertical extent of each parcel must also be depicted (Rule 10.4.2(a)).
Area Schedules
Surveyors commonly attach a schedule of areas to Survey Office CSDs that have been prepared for
Legalisation or Crown Subdivision purposes.
These are not required under the Rules for Cadastral Survey 2010.
If a client requires an Area Schedule then they can be attached as a Supporting Document – type ‘Area
Schedule’ – to the dataset.
The Area Schedule will not bundle with the CSD or Title Plan and is not checked by LINZ as part of the
validation process.
The Survey Report can refer to the Area Schedule. Surveyors should fully report on the purpose for which
the survey was conducted, and include references to the relevant legislation and intended parcel actions.
In most cases, comprehensive reporting will allow the dataset to be processed more efficiently.
For more information see Schedules of Area on the LINZ website.

Cadastral Professional Stream
The Cadastral Professional Stream (CPS) has been established for
members of NZIS who have an interest in Cadastral Surveying. The
goal of the CPS is for members to actively participate in the ongoing
advancement of knowledge, skills, techniques, resources and relevance
of Cadastral surveying. Members are encouraged to participate through the use of the Member’s Forum,
participation at Branch meetings and on special project committees, through providing CPD and
seminars and through appointment to the leadership team.
The CPS currently comprises a leadership team made up of members from across New Zealand, practising
in all aspects of the Cadastral Surveying profession as follows:
• Stefan Kiss – Cadastral Professional Stream Leader
• Josie FitzGerald – Communication with Members
• Richard Hemi – Student Education Liaison
• Darren Hocken – Knowledge Improvement
• Brian Curtis – Cadastral Stream Homepage
• Trent Gulliver – LINZ Stakeholder Management
• Karl Wilton – LINZ Stakeholder Management
The CPS also maintains the Cadastral Professional Stream areas on the NZIS website. Links to previous
Cadastral Corner articles and other useful sites can be found under “Professional Streams & Divisions” and
in your website Dashboard under “Chapter”.
Feedback Please.
Feedback and any suggestions from members on content and items of interest for Cadastral Corner are
always appreciated. If you have procedures that differ from those recorded in Cadastral Corner then we
would appreciate hearing from you.

Positioning and
Measurement Stream
As a light-hearted effort to stimulate discussion at the
stream group on the LinkedIn website, we have initiated
a discussion thread for users to share notes about which
smartphone apps they use as positioning and measurement tools.
Participate at: http://tinyurl.com/njbpejn.
This month’s photo is of Simon Conway, and taken by
Paula Gentle (both geodetic surveyors at LINZ). They were
undertaking a survey to determine the spatial relationship
between the invariant reference points of two VLBI telescopes
(operated by AUT) with the antenna reference point of
the PositioNZ CORS (operated by LINZ) near Warkworth to
sub-millimetre accuracy. Very Long Baseline Interferometry
(VLBI) involves a network of telescopes at locations spread
around the globe. A signal from an astronomical radio source,
such as a quasar, is collected at multiple radio telescopes on
Earth simultaneously. VLBI is useful as it is the only technique
that can make the celestial position measurements required
to calibrate the GNSS systems (via ITRF solutions). For more
information see: http://space-geodesy.nasa.gov/techniques/
VLBI.html.
Inside GNSS recently hosted another webinar on GNSS Precise
Point Positioning (PPP) techniques.
These webinars are normally available on demand at no cost
for an extended duration.
More at: http://www.insidegnss.com/webinars.
GeoLearn has a series of on-line short courses aimed as “online professional development for the
geospatial industry”. Many are US-specific, but others are more generic, and the list of courses available is
growing. More at: http://www.geo-learn.com/.
A reminder for those interested in the growing field of surveying using UAV’s, there are presentations/
workshops by Skycam coming up in Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland during May. For more
information refer to the training calendar on the NZIS website.
The final week of March saw a flurry of GNSS satellite launches, with five new GNSS satellites launched
in less than a week. Two Galileo satellites were launched, with one satellite for each of the GPS, IRNSS
and Beidou constellations. The Beidou satellite is the first of the third generation of satellites for that
constellation, and the Beidou system is currently on schedule to become a fully global system by or
before 2020.
A new type of measurement instrument that has made an impact in the US construction market with its
arrival is the Topcon LN-100 3D Layout Navigator. It is billed as “a fusion of laser and robotic technologies”,
and it does indeed look like a hybrid of a robotic total station and rotating laser level. This instrument
is being promoted as a one-person three-dimensional stakeout tool for compact construction sites,
with an accuracy specification of 5” up to a maximum range of 100m. And perhaps most interestingly
for surveyors: no surveyor is required! This will be a new type of instrument to watch with interest, and

Landonline Release 3.11
Coming 25 May
LINZ have advised that they are currently working on release
3.11 for Landonline with a go-live date of 25 May which is subject to testing.
Update information can be found on their website page:
http://www.linz.govt.nz/land/landonline/landonline-system-updates/landonline-release-311
There are several key enhancements likely to be in release 3.11 for our e-survey customers (subject to final
testing), such as:
1. A pre-validation check that each boundary point and each new survey mark is connected by
two vectors and that the relationship between all boundary points can be ascertained and
verified [RCS 8.1€ and 8.1(d)]. Failure will result in a fatal error i.e. the CSD will not be able to be
submitted until this is complied with.
2. A fix of the area check at pre-validation which previously was reporting differences that the
surveyor did not expect.
3. A reduction in the risk of accidental deletion of a survey dataset i.e. through an additional pop
up warning
4. Multiple changes to mark information i.e. will be able to highlight multiple items on a list and
change the common “fields” that you want to amend
5. Of significance work is being done on a machine readable survey report that will automatically
pre-populate defined fields and help prevent conflicts in data captured by the surveyor in more
than one part of the dataset.
“ I am always seeking to improve the level of
customer service and reduce time spent on
the job. The Leica brands have a reputation for
quality and reliability and have always met
with our expectations. “”

Media Release – SITECH NZ
formed out of Geosystems
Establishment of SITECH NZ brings world leading
construction technology to New Zealand
SITECH Construction NZ is the latest SITECH Technology
dealership to be established as part of Trimble’s global network. It has been formed out of GeoSystems NZ
and retains a common executive leadership. Sitech NZ will provide the latest in construction technology
to New Zealand clients.
SITECH Construction NZ (SITECH NZ) is the latest SITECH Technology dealership to be established as
part of Trimble’s global network. The establishment of SITECH NZ gives New Zealand clients access to
the world’s latest construction technology, thereby helping them to lower their operating costs, achieve
better efficiencies and greater accuracy.
SITECH NZ was formed out of GeoSystems NZ, a leading provider of Geospatial solutions in New Zealand
since 1985. SITECH NZ still retains a connection with GeoSystems NZ under common executive leadership.
Daniel Wallace, General Manager of SITECH NZ and GeoSystems NZ, said New Zealand is recognised on
the world stage as an innovative and forward thinking country and there is a big appetite for technology
which improves productivity and safety and reduces cost, waste and environmental impact. Our team
is looking forward to working with clients, from those working on small site construction to large infra­
structure projects, better understand how to apply innovative construction technology to achieve this.
“With over 100 years of combined construction experience in the SITECH team, I believe we have the best
technology and people to deliver unprecedented gains to civil contractors,” Wallace said.
Will Newall, Survey Manager at Fletchers for New Zealand’s $520 million MacKays Crossing to Peka Peka
road construction project, who has adopted the entire Trimble Connected Site Portfolio says: “When
you look at the volume of information we collect, share and analyse on a daily basis, it gives us a huge
advantage in accuracy and productivity in everything from modelling and earthworks to mass haul. It’s
hard to imagine we’d be able to produce these results so quickly without a unified view of the project and
without the Connected Site from Trimble.”
The SITECH portfolio
• Full portfolio of Trimble Grade Control Systems and Cat AccuGrade Machine Control Systems
designed for an entire fleet of heavy equipment, regardless of machine make, type or model.
• Trimble Site Positioning Systems that allow contractors to perform a range of site measurement
tasks and reduce downtime by quickly resolving problems on site.
• Management of job site
progress with Trimble’s Site
Supervisor System designed
for supervisors co-ordinating
activities, especially on the
stakeless job site.
• Comprehensive data
management with Trimble
Construction Software for
streamlined workflows between
field and office in real-time.
• Real-time equipment and assets
status with Trimble Construction
Manager allowing contractors
to track and manage the status
of each piece of equipment on
your job site — live, in the office.

the property;
• A partially successful application for costs by Queenstown Lakes District Council and s 274
parties against an unsuccessful appellant who had been refused consent for land use and
subdivision at Tucker Beach, Lower Shotover area;
• A consent granted by the Environment Court on a direct referral application for a “clean-fill”
activity near Clevedon, east of Auckland;
• An application for interim injunction involving erection of a new house at Takapuna Beach
which had received neighbours consent, but the height of the new house exceeded that for
which consent had been obtained;
• A further decision of the Environment Court involving quarrying activity at Saddle Hill near
Mosgiel;
• An unsuccessful appeal against compensation determined for land taken for a road under the
Public Works Act;
• A judicial review by the High Court of a decision by the Minister of Conservation to refuse grant

Australian Health & Safety Rule Released
Source: SSSI Australia
CP (Chris Patrick) 50/20 Rule
A new health, safety, environmental and quality (HSEQ) Rule has been issued in Australia a s a result of the
death of a young surveyor:
Purpose
In addition to our existing controls, the purpose of this alert is to highlight the new CP (CHRIS PATRICK)
50/20 RULE for strict adherence by all personnel on site. The intent of this rule is to ensure all personnel
and mobile equipment are working in sufficiently clear areas of operation and the likelihood of
interaction with personnel or other mobile equipment is minimized or eliminated.
Background
Chris Patrick an Engineering Surveyor, was stuck and fatally injured on 27th September 2014 by a grader.
The employee was undertaking a conformance survey when for unknown reasons, the employee made
contact with the plant.
What is the CP (Chris Patrick) 50/20 Rule
• No personnel are to approach or pass, in vehicle or foot, within 50 metres of operating mobile
equipment until they have contacted the operator of the mobile equipment and received
positive verbal confirmation that it is clear to approach or pass. At no time shall mobile
equipment approach or pass within 50 metres of personnel or a light vehicle without first
making verbal contact and having received positive verbal confirmation that it is clear to
approach or pass.
• If any personnel, in a vehicle or on foot, are required to approach or pass within 20 metres
of operating mobile equipment then they must first make verbal contact with the operator
to seek approval to do so. Personnel must not proceed until the mobile equipment ceases
operation; attachments are grounded and have received positive verbal confirmation from the
operator that it is clear to approach or pass.
Where the CP Rule Cannot be Applied?
• Personnel must be separated from mobile equipment through the use of using physical
barricades and/or specifically designated exclusion zones that are enforced and clearly marked.
Personnel may not enter the exclusion zone or pass the barriers unless they have first made
verbal contact with the operator of the mobile equipment, the mobile equipment has ceased
operation, attachments are grounded and they have received positive verbal confirmation from
the operator that it is clear to enter the exclusion zone or pass the barrier.
What Can you Do as a Surveyor?
• All personnel should incorporate the CP (CHRIS PATRICK) 50/20 RULE into all risk assessments
before undertaking activities around mobile plant
