The Adjustment of the Australian Leveling Survey 1970-1971

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

From the commencement of European settlement onward, numerous levelling surveys have been made in Australia on various datums, and although professional surveyors from time to time advocated a national height datum based on mean sea level, no active move toward a national system of levels was undertaken until after the creation of a National Mapping Council in 1945.
