Providing survey mark feedback

We welcome feedback about the safety, maintenance, coordinate or height information of any survey mark. Let us know if marks have been damaged or destroyed, and suggest where new marks should be installed.

Your feedback helps us monitor and maintain New Zealand’s network of survey marks and the geodetic system.

Feedback through the LINZ Geodetic Database

Geodetic marks can be found in the Geodetic Database by searching for a geodetic code, name or location.

  2. Click 'User feedback' on the left-hand menu.
     
Survey mark feedback online form
  1. In the feedback form you can upload information about the mark’s condition, other comments, or photos.

    Notes:

    1. The feedback form asks for your name and email address:
      • Your name will be shown with any general comments you enter on this page.
      • Your email will only be used by Toitū Te Whenua to contact you about your feedback, such as requesting survey data or clarifying information.
    2. Your general comments will be visible immediately to other users of user feedback for that mark. Other feedback will be processed by Toitū Te Whenua staff so they can update the Geodetic Database or Landonline, or plan any maintenance.
      • General comments may be deleted at any time (without notification) by Toitū Te Whenua.
      • Photos will only be published when no personal identifying features are visible. For example, photos will not be published if people or vehicle number plates are shown.
  2. You can update or delete your feedback anytime over the next 2 days.

Feedback through email

You can email Toitū Te Whenua with feedback about multiple geodetic marks, other survey mark types, installation recommendations, or if you don’t know the geodetic mark code.
