Proposal for Introduction of Professional Cadastral Surveying in Norway
Arve Leiknes
The Ministry of Local Government and Modernization presented in August 2016 a proposal for introduction of professional cadastral surveying in Norway. Today cadastral surveying is the responsibility of the municipalities, as a monopoly task. There is no authorization system for persons undertaking cadastral surveying, and it is the responsibility of the individual municipality to define the level of education and skills for the appointed surveyor. The cadastre is managed by the Norwegian Mapping Authority and updated by the Municipalities. The Ministry proposes cadastral surveying performed as a profession-regulated service with free price formation. Requirements for education and practice should be in line with the requirements of other European countries and in accordance with EEA regulations. Public and private enterprises can undertake cadastral surveying. Updating of the cadastre is proposed to be transferred to the Mapping Authority, and performed by a central body. The paper will go present the proposal for a surveying profession, inputs that have been submitted to the Ministry from different stakeholders in the public consultation process, and the ongoing process.
