Tomlinson & Carruthers perform a wide variety
of work that fall into the above five overlapping
categories. To demonstrate how these five
categories work together we hope you find the case study interesting. Tomlinson &
Carruthers first laid out the coastal settlement
of Riversdale in 1954 and we have been involved
with each stage of its development since. The
current development of a 127 lot resort community
demonstrates not only the ongoing success of our
work but also the evolution of the technology and
the methods we apply.
Most of the work we do uses complicated
terminology. We hope the accompanying glossary is
useful.
Rural
& Urban Cadastral Surveys
The Registered Surveyors at Tomlinson &
Carruthers have considerable experience and
expertise in cadastral surveying matters. Dealing
with a wide variety of rules, we assist clients
to guide them around all the costly and time
consuming obstacles.
The type of work our registered surveyors
regularly undertake includes the definition and
relocation of boundaries, boundary adjustment,
the removal of title limitations, unit title
surveys, the subdivision of land, cross lease
surveys and the survey of natural boundary
surveys such as waterways and coastal areas.
We are widely recognized in the property and
construction industries for our surveying skills.
For almost sixty years we have produced high
quality, successful subdivisions throughout the
country.
Our reputation is built around maintaining solid
relationships with our clients based on
understanding our clients' needs and finding
effective solutions to achieve their goals.
Whether your project is a boundary adjustment or
a 200 lot lifestyle development, our staff can
help.
Topographical
Surveys
Tomlinson & Carruthers collects topographical
survey data using either GPS or total
stations/electronic theodolites and processed and
presented using 12d Model surveying/engineering
software giving a clear, concise and professional
presentation. Final plans can be produced in
either paper or electronic file format to suit
client requirements.
Using cutting edge technology Tomlinson &
Carruthers uses topographical surveys in the
design of new houses and subdivisions to even
determine the effects of sunlight and views.
Legalisation
Surveys
Tomlinson & Carruthers has performed
legalisation surveys for Transit New Zealand and
territorial authorities throughout the country.
These surveys have included the re-alignment of
State Highways and local authority roads and
functions relating to public works including road
stopping, disposal and the acquiring of land.

Cadastral
A cadastre is defined as..."a public
record, survey, or map of the value,
extent, and ownership of land as a basis
of taxation". Cadastral surveys deal
with the definition and subdivision of
land and the creation of new titles, on a
cadastre.
Global Positioning System (GPS)
GPS is a system where satellites are used
to provide highly accurate three
dimensional co-ordinates to centimetre
accuracy. This modern form of technology
makes line of sight equipment such as
theodelites unnecessary and obsolete. GPS
also increases the quality and quantity
of data obtained and allows multiple
techniques to be utilized. GPS is the
primary tool utilized at Tomlinson &
Carruthers.
Land
Information New Zealand
Land Information New Zealand, along with
other government organizations,
administer the complex rules relating to
cadastral surveying in New Zealand. The
Land Transfer Act, the Survey Act, and
the Unit Titles Act are three such
examples. Territorial authorities,
however, have responsibility for the
Resource Management Act.
Legalisation
Surveys
Legalisation surveys are undertaken on
behalf of government departments,
territorial authorities, ad hoc
authorities or any person authorised by
statute to deal with, or dispose of land.
Legalisation surveys are most often
undertaken to stop, or acquire land for,
legal road.
Resource Management Act
The Resource Management Act 1991 is an
effects based piece of legislation, which
calls for the consideration of
environmental impacts when undertaking
any land development project including
subdivision. Consideration needs to be
given to the effects of the development
on the natural and physical environment,
ecosystems, people and their communities,
amenity values etc.
Topographical surveys
Topographical surveys range in complexity
from a basic measure up for a boundary
redefinition to large-scale site plans
showing detailed contours, site
topography and existing boundaries,
structures and vegetation. Topographical
plans are used for engineering design
purposes such as utilities, drainage and
earthworks.
