Course 2 - Survey Information

(SRBV has allocated 5 Cadastral FPET points for Licensed Surveyors who register and attend)

This course will be presented by Rachael Musgrave-Evans LS.


There is a frustrating lack of resources to assist Licensed Surveyors in the training of young surveyors in their employ. This contributes to the lack of progress of graduates who wish to advance to registration as a licensed surveyor.


The aim of our courses is to fill in the gaps and provide much needed guidance and resources to assist in the training of cadastral surveyors.


Licensed Surveyors are also welcome to register for this course.

(SRBV has allocated 5 Cadastral FPET points for Licensed Surveyors who register and attend).


This course will be focused on the significance and interpretation of old survey information and will feed into and complement the upcoming survey-based sessions (both urban and rural).

  • The original Crown break-up of the State
  • The importance of historical survey information
  • Searching/Sources of survey information
  • Reading and interpreting old survey information
  • Parish Plans and Titles Office Charts


This course will also cover the re-establishment principles behind:

  • Property Law Act 1958
