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
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
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
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
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
