The move to COVID-19 Alert Level 1 has meant a return to the office for many and a move to a more normal way of business. Our offices are now open and our staff are back in the office.

Since the announcement of Government response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve been working to maintain as many services as possible. Although it has been challenging, it’s also heartening to see how well everyone across the property system has adapted to working remotely. The safety and wellbeing of both LINZ staff and our customers has been a paramount focus throughout.

In this edition: Lunchtime legal seminars, streamlining conveyancing, and unsupported web browsers

Tēnā koutou and nau mai, haere mai to the second edition of High Country Matters, a quarterly newsletter from Land Information New Zealand (LINZ).

In this edition we talk about improving the Whenua Māori Visualisation Tool and the Landonline Release 3.20. We’ve also decided to extend the Landwrap survey. While we’ve already received some very useful feedback we’d love to hear from some more of you.

In the March edition of Landwrap we have news about a Landonline outage at the end of the month; clarification about Easements for 'Telecommunications and Computer Media’; information about projection scale factors; and an issue with Post Registration Searches.

In the December edition of Landwrap we have a reminder about the summer holiday hours for Landonline as well as information about password protection, applications for Survey Dispensation, Landonline printing issues and a problem with form fields in .rtf documents. 

This month's Landwrap has details about the recent Landonline issues, mortgagee consent to deposit of plan, consultation on fees for land titles products and services, and the digitisation of records in the North Island.

This month we have updates about a review of the Rules for Cadastral Survey, changes to the process for replacing survey records, as well as error messages at signing.

This month we inform you about Landonline availability; new rules for Canterbury land surveys; realigning the digital cadastre in Christchurch; updates to release notes for Surveyors; and planned changes to the tax statement.

This month we’re asking about your views on what should go into our next Landonline release, and give you a heads-up on planned changes to accessing Landonline. We’re also keen to hear from users of our PositioNZ-RT service, and can give surveyors an update on where to find Christchurch Survey Mark Movement Data, and the new Vertical Datum.

This month we provide an update about the August Landonline maintenance release; a reminder about scanning and attaching images in Landonline; information about our new vertical datum and coordinate update; and an update about access to Landonline last week.

This month we cover the draft rules for Canterbury surveys, tips to improve compliance with survey report requirements, a note on software updates that might affect your Landonline experience, and a minor update to the Standard for lodgement of CSDs.

This month, there are a few important reminders, a heads-up about Landonline unavailability, and a message from the head of our Property Rights group.
