Course 3 - Rural Re-establishment
(delivered over 2 days)

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.


This course will be run as a rural re-establishment computational workshop exercise based on field work from our office.  The course will be run over two separate days.  The first session will be used to go through the survey information and field work and get participants started on their computations.  The second session will be run four weeks later.  The four week break will allow participants time to work on their computations before returning for a second session.  The second session will be used to go through each participants re-establishment giving feedback and guidance.


This course will also cover:


•Crown and Freehold Boundaries
•Crown boundary re-establishment and the Property Law Act 1958
•The monuments based system and survey differences
