Not all Territorial Authorities use Landonline’s TA e-certification functionality, so before submitting an e-survey, please check with the relevant Council.

This section provides information to assist lawyers and conveyancers working in the Canterbury region, following the earthquakes.

Find common questions and answers about the LINZ Data Service and the datasets you can access through it.

Projections are selected so that they best represent an area of the globe on a flat surface. There are separate projections for McMurdo Sound, Borchgrevink Coast, Pennell Coast, and the Ross Sea.

Ensuring Generated Plans are received in a timely manner.

Landowners and legal advisers acting in conveyancing transactions that affect Māori freehold land have a clear responsibility to ensure the compliance requirements under Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 are properly addressed.

The tide you see is a combination of all the different water movements happening at that location.

Standards and specifications for hydrographic surveys and the production of nautical charts and publications, and links to International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) resources.

You can keep your charts and nautical publications up to date using our Notices to Mariners.

The physical part of New Zealand’s geodetic system is a network of geodetic marks that are used as reference points for surveys.

Vertical datums define a reference surface for measuring elevations and depths, ensuring consistency in height measurements.

Meridional circuits divide the country into a set of survey regions, used to define a local projection for mapping purposes. The Cadastral Survey Rules 2021 require that the NZGD2000 (New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000) Transverse Mercator 2000 Meridional Circuit projections are used for cadastral surveyors.

The North Island Yard Grid and South Island Yard Grid were the projections for the 1:63,360 (inch-to-the-mile) topographic mapping in New Zealand between 1942 and 1973.

Projections are used to transform a curved surface into a flat map, making locations easier to define. There are 5 official map projections currently used in New Zealand, and 4 that are no longer used.

Coordinate and height accuracy values categorised in 3 ways: network accuracy is described by its tier, local accuracy is described by class, and combined accuracy is its order.

The Ross Sea Region Geodetic Datum 2000 (RSRGD2000) is the official geodetic datum used to define positions for the Ross Sea region of Antarctica.

The mathematical parameters and equations used to convert geodetic datum coordinates to and from a transverse Mercator projection.
