Constructing a survey accurate digital cadastre

Spaziani, David

Land Information New Zealand has contracted EDS to convert historic survey data for the construction of a survey-accurate digital cadastre. The areas selected contain 1.35 million parcels, or approximately 70% of the live parcels that constitute the New Zealand survey system. This work has been undertaken in three parts: the definition of a new datum to which the converted survey will be adjusted, the creation of a sufficient density of control in the conversion area to gain a high degree of coordinate accuracy; and the capture and adjustment of boundary and traverse data from current survey plans tied to the new control. The intent of the exercise is to create a network of a measured coordinate accuracy standard that can be used by external surveyors and for electronic plan lodgement.
