Course 6 - Victorian Cadastral Law
(Friday 17 April 2026)
( 5 Cadastral SRBV CPD 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.
