The Surveyor-General had a milestone (2j) to ‘investigate options for automated processing to monitor data from the GPS continuous tracking network by 31 March 2003’. This report addresses this milestone and considers future enhancements to the PositioNZ network, in particular the various options for automated and real time processing of GPS data from the network, and makes recommendations for future development.

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

The New Zealand Positioning Strategy sets the strategic direction for how the geodetic system will be developed within the broader positioning fundamental data theme for the next 10 years (2014-2024). This strategy builds on previous geodetic strategies and aligns with LINZ’s 10 year vision that ‘the power of where’ drives New Zealand’s success.

This report reviews the relative merits of retaining the NZMG or of changing to another projection.

The purpose of this Strategic Business Plan is to articulate a vision and plan for the development of the geodetic system.

The New Zealand Map Grid (NZMG) is a projection that is used to convert latitudes and longitudes to easting and northing coordinates used for most mapping of New Zealand. The projection is unique to New Zealand.

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.

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.
