SURVEY DEFINITIONS

Work-In-Progress [WIP]

• A Work In Progress [WIP] survey is a survey that was not completed at the time the DCDB was frozen in each land district. These include unapproved plans and unlodged plans with pre-allocated plan numbers, including:
  LT plans that were not deposited including approved plans.
• SO Legalisation plans that were not fully gazetted, including approved plans.
• Other SO plans that were not approved.
• ML plans that were not certified by a Judge of the Maori Land Court including approved plans.
• Staged Unit Plans that have not completed all stages, including plans where the final stage has been approved but not deposited.

WIP also includes any surveys that were completed (eg: deposited) during the period between the freezing of the DCDB for DCDB Conversion and the rollout of Landonline.

WIP surveys are progressively captured into Landonline as required. For example, when an action that depends on the survey is lodged or received (eg: a new title transaction).

WIP plans are captured according to the capture standards in place at the time.

Unlike other surveys captured directly into Landonline, WIP surveys retain their original survey number rather than being allocated a number of 300,000 or greater.
