Setting the Bar High: First CSD Impresses LINZ

We are delighted to share some exciting news about Maciej Wozniak, who has achieved a milestone in his career as a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor.

Maciej recently submitted his very first cadastral survey dataset (CSD) to Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) for validation. Maciej's work received high praise from LINZ, with his survey being rated a perfect 10/10.

LINZ was impressed by the robust quality assurance process at Fox & Associates and also expressed how receiving well-prepared CSDs for validation, like Maciej's first CSD, greatly facilitates their work at LINZ. In addition, his CSD was to be presented to students at the Otago University School of Surveying as an example of good definition practice for recalculated boundaries.

What made this survey particularly notable was its added complexity.

The original land title carried a limitation due to insufficient survey information at the time it was first issued. Such a title cannot be subdivided without prior removal of the limitation, which requires a complete resurvey of the parcel of land. The survey is automatically classified by LINZ as complex and undergoes a thorough verification. Maciej successfully submitted the survey dataset and cooperated with the lawyers ensuring fast-tracking of the survey and title lodgement, which resulted in the minimum waiting time for the new titles.

Congratulations Maciej. This remarkable recognition from LINZ is a testament to your expertise and dedication.
