One of the requirements of the Town Planning Act is that each local body affected by it must provide a civic survey map of its territory, together with a town planning map.

Barton, who represented the council at the recent Municipal Conference, stated that this requirement of the Act was drastic and immediate. The map would require to be very complete, showing all contours, and giving all other details. It was said by an Auckland delegate that Auckland City had such a map, which cost them £0000 to prepare.
