This document is issued by the Office of the Surveyor-General to: document proposals for development of NZGD2000 meridional circuits; obtain approval for the implementation of NZGD2000 meridional circuits.

This report looks at the options for vertical datum development in New Zealand.

This report has been compiled by the Surveyor-General, Land Information New Zealand, on behalf of the Geosciences Standing Committee of the Royal Society of New Zealand for the General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics, Birmingham, England, August 1999. It presents the New Zealand geodetic operations from 1995-1998.

Land Information New Zealand has implemented a new national geodetic datum, New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000 (NZGD2000). NZGD2000 replaces Chatham Islands 1979 datum and New Zealand Geodetic Datum 1949 (NZGD49).

In November 2000 a new datum, Ross Sea Region Geodetic Datum 2000 (RSRGD2000) was realised for the Ross Island area of the Ross Sea Region of Antarctica. This report details the parameters for, and realisation of, RSRGD2000.

With the planned release of the PositioNZ-PP on-line GPS procession tool, LINZ requires updated models to predict forward the position of each of the continuous GPS reference stations of the PositioNZ network and transformation parameters between NZGD2000 and the current GNSS reference frame. This report summarizes the results of Otago University School work in these two areas.

This guideline outlines the technical requirements for supply of GNSS Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) metadata and RINEX (Receiver Independent Exchange Format) data files to Toitū Te Whenua.

This guideline provides instructions for the use of CSV (Comma-separated values) in SNAP (Survey Network Adjustment Package). SNAP is a suite of programs for adjusting the coordinates in a survey network to best fit the observed data.

This specification is an extract of the sections titled ‘Contract Deliverables’ from the Specifications for Geodetic Physical Network Version 1.13 published in November 2006 and Specifications for Geodetic Control Survey Version 1.3 published in November 2006.

‘Business with Māori’ is the term used to describe LINZ’s approach to working with Māori and iwi in a more strategic and targeted manner in order to create opportunities for improved economic, environmental, social, and cultural outcomes for Aotearoa New Zealand.

The purpose of this paper is to present some perspectives on the transition of the survey industry from a largely paper based system, serving a fairly specific market and need, to one that has the potential to be a major contributor to mainstream society and commerce – recognising that over 80% of all government information has a spatial component.

New Zealand has embarked on a programme that aims to make the cadastre electronic and deliver the benefits that arise from so doing.
