Griffith University Awards
SSSI Queensland proudly supports a number of academic awards for students of surveying and spatial science. Angus Scown, Peter Kinne and I recently attended the Griffith University Awards evening to recognise these students' outstanding academic achievements. The winners were:
SSSI Qld GIS Prize
Sian Taylor, Lara Keller and Nicolas Breness Horvilleaur
SSSI Qld Remote Sensing Prize
Lorena Garcia Woortmann
SSSI Queensland is very proud to support our future professionals.
Survey Plan Submission
In regards to Survey Plans that have been corrected after initial lodgement with DNRME, in particular, plans that have had a post registration correction, I would like to remind my surveying colleagues to please consider providing any updated plans to GlobalX so that they can update the records of the Surveyors Trust plan archives. This includes updated DP and Identification plans which may otherwise not be automatically replaced in the GlobalX database.
As always, if you have any queries, concerns or suggestions on SSSI Queensland or a surveying or spatial science matter you need assistance with, you are most welcome to contact me on chair.qld@sssi.org.au.
