Reducing requisitions under the 2010 Rules
LINZ is investigating frequent requisitions, and providing feedback to surveyors to help reduce the number of requisitions.
Frequent requisitions have been listed in the Top 2010 survey requisitions section on this website with links to relevant education information.
For additional education information on the 2010 Rules, and updates to existing material, refer to the Question and answers and Information on specific topics sections on the LINZ website.
Survey report template updated
The survey report template has been updated to assist with complying with reporting requirements under the 2010 Rules.
Surveyors can modify the template, or create their own, to suit individual requirements and systems. We recommend using a similar order and headings to the LINZ template to ensure consistency.
Offline Plan Generation pilot
The Offline Plan Generation (OPG) pilot has been underway for two weeks and is being extended to 6 August 2010.
If you would like to take part in the pilot, please email pilotgroup@linz.govt.nz to receive a pilot package.
To take part in the pilot, you will need a current Landonline user id and digital certificate. You will need to download the OPG application, and we will ask you to comment on any issues or faults that you experience during the beta testing.
We can also provide you with a test dataset if required.
