The 2024 Workshop will be held in Martinborough, 14-16th March 2024.

The division runs a very successful annual workshop over three-days. This is an excellent opportunity to socialise with fellow surveyors, discuss business issues with others in similar size practices in different parts of the country and offers good learning opportunities for participants.

Feedback from the 2023 workshop:

I have been meaning to write and say thanks to CSNZ for a well-run event. The first time I’d been to a workshop and I got a lot out of it. First time in Invercargill and really enjoyed it. Also good to catch up with some old faces, meet new ones, and listen to how others are doing.

I found the CSNZ workshop a valuable experience. There were many takeaways from the sessions that focus on identifying and resolving common business issues and staff development.

CSNZ gives one scholarship and one award annually. The scholarship is $2,500 towards the National Diploma of Surveying and is awarded once the diploma is completed. The award is $500 to the top student studying the Professional Survey 450 paper at Survey School.

The scholarship is awarded to provide financial assistance to employees of CSNZ members in obtaining the National Diploma of Surveying qualification. Applications close on 30th November, and recipients are notified early in the New Year.
