SURVEYORS (EXAMINATION AND REGISTRATION) REGULATIONS

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 10 of 1975

	These Regulations amend the existing Regulations made under the Surveyors Ordinance 1967-1970 in three respects:
(a)	Substitution of metric units of measurement for imperial units of measurement;
(b)	Increase fees to revised levels which are compatible with those being charged in the Australian States; and
(c)	The adoption of a higher academic qualifications standard to be met by entrants to articles under the Ordinance.  This revised standard has been agreed by the Reciprocating Surveyors Boards of Australia and New Zealand and is uniform throughout Australia (except Northern Territory) and New Zealand.
Some terminology in the Regulations has also been changed to observe uniformity throughout Australia and New Zealand.
