ABOUT CLAIRE BUXTON
Claire is a multi-talented and well-rounded consultant who has a passion for land rights and sustainable community development. She has professional experience in land development in New Zealand and Canada from the past 15 years since graduating from the University of Otago. Claire\'s infectious enthusiasm, passion, and drive for her career inspires her peers. Living in British Columbia, Canada, she is gaining work experience in a province with a checkered but rich history. Claire enjoys combining her years of experience in land surveying and land development with her academic studies and skills developed through volunteering, into solutions in sustainable land development with community at the centre, incorporating secure tenure, and sustainable design. Claire has been surveying since 2008 in many parts of New Zealand and Canada. Her experience ranges from the Christchurch rebuild post-earthquake in the infrastructure, residential, and geodetic sectors, through to large infrastructure projects and project management of small residential developments, medium-density residential developments, and large-scale housing developments. A Licensed Cadastral Surveyor since 2017 and Canada Lands Surveyor since 2024, Claire has also managed engineering surveying projects which include high-precision technical advice, legal surveying, client liaising, and bidding and winning work. Claire has always believed in giving back, most recently on the Truth and Reconciliation Task Force for the Association of Canada Lands Surveyors and prior to that as the Leader of the Volunteer Community Surveyor Program (VCSP) and as a Co-Chair of the Women\'s Access to Land working group. Claire also volunteered on the working group for the Association of Canada Lands Surveyors\' Indigenous Relations Committee and before moving to Canada, she volunteered for the Survey and Spatial New Zealand Young Professionals and Pacific Advisory Group since 2015. This gives Claire a broad but deep understanding of global issues and their community-level impacts from the lens of the surveying profession.
