The New Zealand surveyor : the 21st century
Coutts, B.J. and D.B. Grant
This paper charts the development of the unique nature of the New Zealand Surveyor from navigator and early explorer to the multi discipline land development consultant of the 1980s. The structural changes that have taken place in government institutions are identified with an explanation of why these were necessary. The consequential effects on the survey profession are also outlined, together with an assessment of how the principal surveying professional body has responded. This will allow the international community to be better informed of the various levels of professional recognition and what these may mean with respect to an individual New Zealand Surveyor they may encounter.
