EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Surveyors Act 2007, as amended by the Surveyors Amendment Bill 2009, provides for the issuing of instructions to surveyors and, in particular, section 55 provides for the Surveyor-General to issue Surveyor-General Practice Directions.

This instrument establishes the Surveyors (Surveyor-General) Practice Directions 2010 (No 1) and repeals the Surveyors (Chief Surveyor) Practice Directions 2009 (No 2) (DI2009-205).  The new instrument replaces references to the Chief Surveyor with Surveyor-General.  

This instrument also corrects direction 67 (2) by removing the reference to the Minister approving and promulgating Standards and Specifications.  Under the terms of Section 55 of the Surveyors Act 2007 the Surveyor-General is able to issue directions in relation to the practice of surveying.
