Course Description

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to apply land and planning law to surveying. The unit covers marking out urban structures and identifying urban lots and related improvements using cadastral surveying methods and equipment. The unit also covers determining azimuth for identification and re-mark surveys, and undertaking mark-out surveys to fix front and rear corners, angles and line marks. It includes calculating identification surveys and preparing reports and sketches that identify physical constraints and environmental impacts. The unit requires the ability to set up, calibrate and use surveying equipment to measure, record and reduce surveying data; and to compile reports and sketches for submission to an approving authority as part of a development application. The unit requires knowledge of land and planning law, and of the submission process for local government building approvals.

The unit supports those who work under limited supervision in a surveying team, in areas such as town planning, surveying and mapping.
