This was the official geodetic datum for New Zealand until 1998. Like most datums of its era it was defined using astronomical observations to establish the coordinates of a relatively small number of fiducial stations. Triangulation was then used to connect these stations together.

A technical guide to datums and projections in New Zealand.

Central Otago District Council uses SouthPAN to achieve high-accuracy mapping and asset management without a high price tag.

Scion forestry teams in New Zealand use SouthPAN to collect data 3-5 times faster, helping to improve the processes and productivity of the forestry wood and biomaterial sectors.

This report was written with support from 2021/2022 Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington Summer Research Scholarship co-funded by the university and Toitū Te Whenua in collaboration with the Geospatial Capability Committee.

This paper updated Cabinet on the Minister for Land Information’s priorities in the Land Information portfolio, as well as progress of two significant projects – SouthPAN and STEP.

The Surveyor-General has issued a ruling specifying the official geodetic datum and the official geodetic projections for use in cadastral surveys.

This fact sheet supersedes the LINZG25700 fact sheet - LINZS25000 Standard for New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000 which was published in November 2007.

This standard sets out the Surveyor-General’s requirements for the provision of a national survey control system.

This report documents a set of principles for a seabed cadastral survey system that have been developed in terms of Land Information NZ’s roles and responsibilities.

This paper presents the preferred option for a new vertical datum and geoid model 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, Sapporo, Japan, July 2003.

The goal of the Vertical Datum Project is to produce a new nationally (and internationally) consistent height reference system for New Zealand. This work has been undertaken in conjunction with the Western Australian Centre for Geodesy at Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Australia.

This report identifies the accuracy requirements of current and future users of the datum. It then contrasts a number of options for enhancing NZVD2009 to meet these customer needs before recommending a preferred improvement approach.

This specification describes the requirements for establishing and surveying geodetic marks used in hydrographic surveys for Toitū Te Whenua.

This specification was developed for use by contracting organisations when providing geodetic survey and maintenance services for Toitū Te Whenua.

This specification covers the precise levelling and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) survey requirements for re-establishing reliable heights for the National Height Network after the Canterbury Earthquake of 4 September 2010.

This report focuses on how the Zero and First Order NZGD2000 coordinates were computed but also outlines the GPS data collected, the processing of the GPS data, the computation of the velocity model and the adjustment of the lower order stations (e.g. Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth) in terms of the Zero and First Order stations.
