2 Cadastre Reform in New Zealand
This paper takes the opportunity to present New Zealand achievements in Cadastral reform, in terms of FIG “Cadastre 2014” It is presented in the New Zealand social and economic context, but there are no doubt many parallels with other jurisdictions

3 Role of the Cadastre The Cadastre is a key link between society and the land, its use and its management The dynamic nature of society imposes continuous change on the land - as a result of the interaction between society and the land, and the information generated The Cadastre provides a framework to manage this interaction It is at the same time both a transaction and an information system serving both individual and community needs providing certainty over long time frames

4 Benchmark for Cadastral Reform
Adopt the FIG Statement that “A successful Cadastre should provide security of tenure be simple and clear be easily accessible provide current and reliable information all at low cost”

5 Changes Impacting on the New Zealand Cadastre
Computer Mapping and DCDB Full Cost Recovery Value Added Services Rationalisation and transfer of Crown Land to private ownership Government Restructuring Integration of Survey and Land Title processes

6 Recent Strategic Drivers
Government Strategic Priorities, to improve economy, social equity and the environment Privatisation or outsourcing some functions Occupational de-regulation Technology Developments and know-how Growing demand for Spatial Information Public demand for improved quality in Government services Resource management e-Government

7 Major Reform Initiatives
Cadastral Surveyor Accreditation Occupational Regulatory Review New Geodetic Datum Survey and Title Automation (LandonLine)

8 Cadastral Surveyor Accreditation
Recognises regulatory and statutory responsibilities of surveyors Government reliance and delegation Greater use of audit to manage Crown’s risk Accreditation reaffirms profession’s appreciation of responsibility

9 Occupational Regulatory Framework
Reduce costs (and risks) to consumers Public interest and risk justified constraints of licensing What is the most efficient application of regulation (in the Public Interest) Analysed options to achieve by, - Surveyor-General, or - Professional Society, or - Separate Authority Linkage of Accreditation, Occupational Regulation and Continuing Competency

10 Geodetic Strategy and New Datum
Strategic Review initiated Major drivers were: - limitations of existing datum - need for a more accurate framework - automation/conversion of survey records - facilitate new technologies NZGD2000 introduced on 1 January 2000 Geodetic data and processes fully integrated into LandonLine

11 Survey & Title Automation Landonline
The Vision Information as a key strategic resource Intelligent electronic record Fully digital environment The Goal An Integrated and Automated Survey & Title System

12 LandonLine Definition and Scope
The information required to perform the core functions of the Integrated Survey and Title business (May be included in automated system some time in the future) Sea Bed Cadastre Unregistered Crown & Maori Land Title System Electoral System Deeds Reg. (Not included in automated system) The areas in orange are included in Landonline Other LINZ information may possibly be included sometime in the future: Deeds Register Unregistered Crown and Maori land Seabed cadastre Valuation data - not core LINZ information - is in the process of being transferred to local authorities Cadastral Survey Fabric Topo/Hydro Geodetic Network

13 The Core Land Record LandonLine Model
People Survey and Title System Land

14 LandonLine - Entity Relationship Model

15 Landonline Key Features
Integration of Survey & Title processes Integration of Geodetic and Cadastral Continuous Parcel Based Map Survey Accurate Improved accessibility Remote prevalidation and lodgement Manages status of transaction Records a variety of interests and and attributes Electronic Register

16 Statement 1 Cadastre shows complete legal situation
Current Cadastre records ownership and private interests Local Authorities and other agencies use DCDB as a base for separately recording own interests or information Some integration, e.g. between Statistics NZ and LINZ for meshblocks and population statistics With Automation future opportunity for more interactive sharing or exchange of information Increasing interest in planning data at the parcel level Concept is a publicly maintained base layer, available to other agencies to overlay or interact with

17 Statement 2 Separation Between Maps & Registers Abolished
Landonline integrates processes and information Automates simpler business rules Common spatial standard and system provides links between all tenure recording systems Practitioners have direct access to data Spatial generates the registration base (i.e. parcel) New and integrated skills needed, at a higher level

18 Statement 3 Cadastral Modelling
The form of the map no longer limits design or content Database is structured to support many views and accesses Automatically links spatial and textual data Able to be updated with new data, whilst retaining original dimensions Contains survey observations and dimensions linked to a modern geodetic system Digital Data Extract by layers or themes A truly real- scale real- time spatial database

19 Statement 4 Paper & Pencil Cadastre Gone
Traditional role of the plan changes: from a medium of recording and transfer to a view of the data Importance of digital formats to transfer data from surveyors system to Landonline Interim - continue to use plan and capture from plan into the database Phase 2 (2002) - digital transfer option Represents a fundamental change in thinking System demands a high level of data integrity

20 Statement 5 Privatised, Public & Private Sector Roles
Current system is a partnership with shared responsibility between Government and Private Sector LINZ provides strategic and regulatory infrastructure, processes, and information systems Private sector involved in all aspects of land subdivision Existing recognition of Surveyors role is privatisation of a statutory function Surveyor is acting for the Crown as well as the Client Practitioners ability to directly transact with the database in effect extends privatisation

21 Statement 6 Cost Recovery
Cadastral system fully funded by fees on transactions Titles transaction depend on and benefit from survey record Resurvey usually not needed, can rely on the record Therefore titles transactions fees also contribute to survey control and maintenance, as well as to registration Government policy that information already paid for should recover dissemination costs only Broader economic benefits recognised

22 Conclusions The New Zealand Cadastre is already well on the road to Cadastre 2014 The major opportunity is in an online digital multi-purpose spatial database linked to other data and processes recording all rights, restrictions and transactions Growing interest in population, asset, hazard and environmental data at the parcel or street address level Growing demand for more effective management of land resources Growing recognition by Government of e-commerce and interaction of information systems

23 Future Reform Direction
Situation Traditional role focussed on individual and private rights Increasingly constrained or influenced by community and environmental interests Increasing competition for land resource use Survey and Title part of resource management process

24 Future Reform Direction
Issues and Opportunities How do we apply traditional proven concepts and system to needs of wider resource management Technology and environmental issues creating a demand for information i.e. (have the problem and the tools - but where is the data?) Reform opportunity for the Cadastre - provide the transaction and recording processes - provide the information system

25 Role of the Cadastre Macro Level
Aggregates and integrates of land parcels and attributes Provides a framework for: recording and integrating data land and asset management decisions managing and accessing information Enables efficiency and reduces risk in land information and resource management

26 Role of the Cadastre Micro Level
Identify and define areas of land for individual owners or interests Creates an asset, with rights and interests assigned and recorded Ensures public confidence and efficiency in land transactions (minimises risk and cost) Provides data for creating a transaction

27 Landonline Tenures and Records Spatially Managed
Fee Simple and other Land Transfer Interests Public and Crown Land Maori Land Covenants and Easements Mining Rights Marine Licenses Hazardous and Contaminated Sites Street Address
