Expert Committee on Proposed Rules for Cadastral Survey Meets for Final Time

22 December 2008

The expert committee reviewing the proposed Rules for Cadastral Survey met for the final time in late November and has now completed its consideration of issues arising from submissions. The expert committee first met in February 2007 and has met a total of eight times.

The consultation is complete, with the committee having considered all submissions and amendments. The Rules are now being updated and the committee will determine whether the final Rules are in accordance with decisions made. It is expected that the Rules will be gazetted and then presented to Parliament’s Regulations Review Committee in the first quarter of 2009.

LINZ is currently planning the implementation of the new Rules, including changes to Landonline and an information programme for surveyors. The new Rules are likely to come into force late in 2009.
