Information for Surveyors
For surveyors, the move to 100% electronic lodgement means that:
- Paper survey plans can be lodged with LINZ only up to 1 September 2007.
- Thereafter, all survey plans can only be lodged with LINZ electronically through Landonline e-survey.
All survey firms will therefore need to adopt electronic lodgement using Landonline e-survey by the cut-over date of 1 September 2007.
e-survey allows you to digitally prepare and lodge cadastral surveys directly with LINZ from your own office. Once in Landonline, you can finalise and validate your e-survey before lodging it with LINZ. In addition, through using LandXML enabled survey software, you can create surveys without needing to re-key data into the Landonline capture screens.
Surveyors already using Landonline have found that e-survey allows them to reduce overall project time and costs, and to re-allocate resources engaged in the paper process to more productive activities.
Key dates for surveyors
The key date for surveyors, in the move to 100% electronic lodgement, is 1 September 2007.
e-survey training and support available
LINZ will provide training and support to all new e-survey users to assist them as they adopt electronic lodgement. If your firm would like training, please email e-survey@linz.govt.nz as soon as possible to secure your booking.
Firms joining Landonline e-survey receive a welcome pack containing full details of the training tools, support services, reference and technical help material available. LINZ will also provide assistance and support to all surveyors to assist them through the transition period.
