Re-establishment Principles Guidance Notes
A series of workshops on re-establishment principles aimed at graduate surveyors under training agreements and recently licensed surveyors was held during 2007 and 2008. The purpose of the workshops was to improve the knowledge of participants in key areas of cadastral surveying and re-establishment.
Although no future workshops are scheduled at this stage, it is envisaged that they will be conducted on an annual basis if the demand exists.
The workshop presentations and related reference material with links to resources have been converted to helpful guidance notes with case studies and exercises.
In presenting the information below every effort has been made to ensure that what is contained in these documents is current and correct; however, if any errors or omissions are detected it would be appreciated if these could be reported to us via email to surveyor.general@dse.vic.gov.au.
