Page 4: CSN Update

Why was CSN Formed?

• ACSA morphed into SIBA in 2000

• In 2009 ACSV recognised there was a growing number of National issue and engaged with ACSNSW

• ACSNSW were examining their relationship with SIBA

• Provided the impetus to examine the recreation of a national body to represent Surveying Businesses

Page 5: CSN Update

Why was CSN Formed?

• A feeling that distinct surveying issues were being drowned out by the broader spatial perspective

• A need for a strong and unapologetically survey-centric voice

• To specifically focus on national issues

Most Underrated

• Like to take some credit for raising the profile of surveyors to the public

• Perhaps contributed to Surveying Courses being considered the most underrated by independent researchers

Page 18: CSN Update

NSW Taskforce

• There has been a Surveying Taskforce established in SA & Vic for some time

• CSN has been instrumental in helping establish the newly formed NSW Taskforce

Page 19: CSN Update

Study into Uni’s

• CSN has initiated and is managing a study into the courses and resources of Aust & NZ university surveying courses

• The study is expected to be completed in March 2014

Page 20: CSN Update

CPSISC

• Construction & Property Services Industry Skills Council

• Because CSN is national body, it is a member of the Council

• CPSISC represents the workforce training and skills development needs of the construction and property services industries

• CPSISC nominates Skills Shortage to prioritise TAFE Courses

• CSN is working to put Surveying on this list

Page 21: CSN Update

University Funding

• With the Demand Study and Uni Study, CSN plans to lobby the Federal Minister re Uni funding

• We plan to stress that a Uni Surveying Course needs to be subsidised as Surveying is needed for “nation building”

• We hope to start with an additional Lecturer at Newcastle Uni
