Surveying and Spatial Information Services Industry Overview

Industry Description

This sector is comprised of 3,4701 businesses,

the majority of which are small private

operators working in narrow geographic or

specialist markets. There are no major

employers and estimates of the people

employed in this sector range from 12,3002 to

over 17,00.3

Most revenue for the industry is derived from

traditional cadastral boundary surveying for

construction markets which includes town

planning and other activities related to land

development and infrastructure projects.

The sector also earns substantial revenue

from mining and energy developments.

However, with the decline in post-mining

boom resource-related developments,

revenue for the industry has declined at 4.6%

annually to $3.0 billion for 2017-18.

Housing growth aided by new residential

subdivisions with a high survey content when

combined with returns from transport and

communication infrastructure markets from

2019-2020 onwards will help industry revenue

to rise at an annualised 1.6% and to $3.3

billion by 2022-23.4

The sector also incorporates the government

sector who engage surveying and spatial

• Surveying and Cartographic

Associates (ANSCO Unit Group 3121)6

Surveyors and Spatial Scientists require higher

qualifications and include occupations such

as:

• Surveyor (232212)

• Cartographer (232213)

• Other Spatial Scientist (232214)

Surveying and Cartographic

Associates/Surveying Technologists (3131-15)

require AQF Diploma or higher qualifications,

experience and registration or licensing

(where required). Specialisations include:

• Aerial Survey Technician

• Engineering Survey Drafting

Technician

• Photogrammetrist

• Topographic Drafting Officer

Surveying or Spatial Science Technicians/GIS

Technicians (312116) and Architectural,

Building and Surveying Technicians Not

Elsewhere Covered (312199) specialise as:

• Aerial Survey Technician

• Photogrammetrist

Regulation and Licencing

To become a licenced or registered surveyor

in Australia, a Bachelor degree (or equivalent)

qualification is a mandatory requirement.

Registration and licensing do not appear to be

current requirements for VET-qualified

Surveying or Spatial Science Technician and

Assistants. Occupational regulation and

licensing by relevant training pathways are

detailed in Appendix A.

The Australian Government’s myskills.gov.au

pathway advice notes that in some

jurisdictions skilled surveying technicians

must be under the supervision of a registered

surveyor when undertaking cadastral and

mining surveying. However further

information is not available through the

Australian Government’s licensing

information resource ABLIS.

Can TAG members identify

states and territories where skilled

surveying technicians ‘must be under

the supervision of a registered

surveyor when undertaking cadastral

and mining surveying’?

Surveying and Spatial Information Services Industry Trends

This section describes current and future

trends projected to impact on the surveying

and spatial information sector. The trends are

presented in five umbrella categories

however, they may impact several related

categories as well.

Social Trends

The Surveying and Spatial information

industry in Australia has the following

characteristics:7

Male dominated, with 14%

female gender share

Has an average age of 39.5 years

93% of employees work full-time

42.2 hours per week

Very high skill

Dispute: in decline or demand?

7 Industry information source: Job Outlook (n.d.) Surveyors and Spatial Scientists. 8 Industry information source: Job Outlook (n.d.) Surveyors and Spatial Scientists, based on the ABS Labour Force Survey (2017).

Is there a National Skill Shortage?

Demand for surveying skills is generally

correlated to the construction cycle.

The proportion of Surveyors and Spatial

Scientists employed in each State and

Territory is generally consistent with the All

Jobs Average for these jurisdictions, although

it is notably lower in Victoria.8

Current occupational skills shortages for

Surveyors have been identified in NSW, QLD

and Victoria,9 although the specific nature of

shortages vary by state. It is notable that all

states with shortages had requirements for

tertiary qualified Surveyors rather than

Surveying Technicians, Spatial Field Hands or

Survey Hands.

Occupational Projections

There are conflicting projections for the

industry. BIS Shrapnel (2015) predicted that

there will be a shortage of nearly 7,000

Surveyors and Surveying professionals by

2025.10 This was attributed to growth in the

construction sector at around one percent per

annum in the first half of the next decade

rising to 2.8 percent later in the decade.

More recent analysis by the Australian Bureau

of Statistics Labour Force Survey projects has

identified a less positive trend, with numbers

of Surveyors and Spatial Scientists falling over

the five years to 2018 and expected to fall

from 12,300 in 2018 to 11,900 by 2023.11

Technological Trends

Surveying has seen significant changes in new

instrument technology, computational

capability, and advances in global navigation

satellite systems.12 This trend has been

recognised by the peak body the Council of

Reciprocating Surveyors Boards of Australia

and New Zealand (CRSBANZ) in relation to

university-training programmes.

Surveying technology has seen significant

changes in new instrument technology,

computational capability, modelling

techniques, advances in global navigation

satellite systems, usage of drone technology

for data capture and laser scanners.13

New technologies are reflected in the skill

requirements of current and new workers in

the industry. The Australian Government’s Job

Outlook identifies ‘interacting with

computers’ as 96% important in the work

environment of Surveyors and Spatial

11 Industry information source: Job Outlook (n.d.) Surveyors and Spatial Scientists. 12 CRSBANZ (2017), Assessing Cadastral Surveying Competency: A report into the cadastral surveyor competency assessments imposed by each jurisdiction affiliated with the Council of Reciprocating Surveyors Boards of Australia and New Zealand. 13 CRSBANZ (2017), Assessing Cadastral Surveying Competency: A report into the cadastral surveyor competency assessments

Scientists, with knowledge of computers and

electronics rated as 79% important.14

VET plays a key role in developing core

competencies to enter industry and providing

pathways to higher education programmes

for those who want to become licenced and

registered surveyors. However, the current

suite of qualifications does not meet industry

requirements.

Expert IRC members noted during

consultation that RTOs delivering the

qualifications are having to tailor the units to

fit what graduates need rather than what the

unit covers, which has a detrimental impact

on the national standard of training graduates

are receiving. This has negative implications

for the quality assurance of the training

package, when approximately 720 occupants

(6% of the workforce) change state of

residence every five years and their

qualifications cannot guarantee consistent

skills.15

Industry feedback is that the current VET

training package does not meet industry

requirements for use of new technology such

as Laser Scanners and new computer

software.16

What is the best way to ‘future

proof’ the spatial and surveying

information industry to include

technological trends?

Economic Trends

An economic downturn in domestic building

and mining industries in the short term is

projected to impact the surveying and spatial

information sector. However, this downturn

may be offset by the large commonwealth,

state and territory infrastructure projects in

development, such as the $58 billion

Infrastructure Pipeline list, announced by

Infrastructure Australia in February 2019.17

What are the industry’s

economic drivers and how will this

impact occupational demand for

graduates?

17 Infrastructure Australia (2019), 2019 Infrastructure Priority List Identifies Record $58BN Project Pipeline, media release accessed 21/05/2019.

Educational Trends

Over 1 in 3 employees in the Surveying and

Spatial Information Services Industry hold VET

qualifications, such as an Advanced Diploma

or Certificates III or IV.

Table 1: Education level of Surveyors and Spatial

Scientists compared to the All Jobs Average18

A VET qualification in Surveying and

Spatial Information Services provides

immediate employment opportunities as a

Field Hand, Technical or Surveying Assistant or

Technical Surveyor.

With a Diploma in Surveying and Spatial

Information, graduates can start or manage

their own business providing services to the

property and construction sector. However,

they cannot perform boundary definition

which requires licensing or registration.

18 Industry information source: Job Outlook (n.d.) Surveyors and Spatial Scientists.

https://www.infrastructureaustralia.gov.au/news-media/media-releases/2019/2019_02_14.aspx





Traditionally, the VET sector has been an

articulation pathway into university degree

programmes. TAFE courses were viewed as

producing “shovel ready” well-drilled students

with a good grasp of surveying from a

practical standpoint. Fryer and Mitchell (2013)

note that many “practicing cadastral

registered/licenced surveyors started in the

TAFE system”.

A robust review of the units of competency

content was not undertaken when the

qualifications were transitioned to the 2012

Standards for Training Packages in 2016 and

IRC members with expert experience and

knowledge in this field have identified skills

and regulatory gaps in the qualifications and

units of competency. These gaps relate to

outdated content, processes, tools and

equipment.

Industry feedback19 on VET qualifications in

this area identified:

• It is ‘hit and miss’, with some learners

sometimes lacking the experience

necessary for foundation skills.

• Some learners exit the training system

when they do not want to progress

further in this career pathway.

Further industry consultation is needed to

explore the perceived value of VET

training and pathway progression in this

occupation.

What is the value of VET

training and pathway progression in

this industry?

19 See Appendix 3.

Environmental Trends

Environmental trends resulting from climate

change, such as environmental management,

sustainability and emergency management, is

predicted to increase demand for surveying

technicians.20

Does industry anticipate major

areas of demand as a result of

environmental trends, such as the

climate crisis?

Political Trends

Each state or territory has its own registration

authority. For example, the Land Surveyors

Licensing Board for WA and the Department

of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and

Environment for Tasmania.

Are current licensing and

registration of surveying and spatial

information assistants and field hands

adequate to meet industry needs? Are

these expected to change?

RTOs with Courses on Scope and Delivery

Surveying and spatial qualifications are on scope with a select number of RTOS, all either TAFEs or

Institutes of Technology. Not all RTOs with qualifications on scope are currently delivering them. For

example, the Certificate II in Surveying and Spatial Information Services is not currently offered by

any RTO despite three having it on scope.

The Certificate and Diploma of Surveying are offered by seven and six RTOs. The Certificate IV and

Diploma of Spatial Information Services are only offered by TAFE NSW. As of 2019, Canberra

Institute of Technology will not offer any surveying and spatial qualifications.21

• Certificate II in Surveying and Spatial Information Services is not currently

offered by any RTO – can this qualification be deleted?

• Do the Certificate III in Surveying and Spatial Information Services provide

appropriate entry level competencies to the industry?

• Are the Certificate IV and Diploma in Spatial Information Services still required

by industry?

• Doe the Certificate IV and Diploma in Surveying meet industry needs?
