Boundaries & Administration Layers

Spatial representation of DOC's management units defined by various acts of parliament and legislation. The attributes in this dataset are derived from the (NaPALIS) National Property and Land Information System, which is a centralised database for all Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) and Department of Conservation (DOC) administered land.

Wind Zones for the Wellington City Urban Areas using NZS3604:2011. When applying for a building consent, the wind zone in which a structure is located determines structural
requirements (New Zealand Building Code - NZBC B1 - Structure) and weather tight requirements (NZBC E2 - External Moisture). Wind zone information was compiled by CLC Consulting Group Ltd in 2012. For more information about wind zones contact Building Consents and Licensing Services.

Wind Codes and Wind Zones:
1 Low Wind (L)
2 Medium Wind (M)
3 High Wind (H)
4 Very High Wind (VH)
5 Specific Design (zone outside the scope of NZS3604:2011)
(SEG)
6 Extra High (EH)
1000 Unknown

Polygons representing Wellington Suburbs. The official list of suburbs was defined in 2003 after public consultation. Small modifications to suburbs are made when new subdivisions cross suburb boundaries.

Country boundaries from the DIVA-GIS project website.

Dated as 2002, so will exclude any name changes / new countries since then.

The boundary quality is fairly coarse.

Merge of Department of Statistics Meshblock Level 1 boundaries and Topo Coastline, plus Chatham Islands to give a better map of the land area for each Territorial Local Authority (TLA). Unitary Authorities are also clipped for their TLA role. TLA boundaries are MHWS which is not mapped in the Cadastral database and is only approximate using the 1:50,000 coastline and island borders, but it is better than the generalised meshblocks. Reloaded to fix topology error that merged Kapiti and Porirua.

This dataset is the definitive set of territorial authority boundaries for 2012 as defined by the Local Government Commission and/or the territorial authorities themselves but maintained by Statistics New Zealand (who are the custodian). A Territorial Authority is defined under the local government act 2001m as a city or a district council.

Territorial authorities are the second tier of local government in New Zealand, below regional councils. The 67 territorial authorities comprise: 12 city councils, 53 district councils, the Auckland Council and the Chatham Islands Territory. Six territorial authorities (Auckland Council, Nelson City Council, Gisborne , Tasman , and Marlborough District Councils) also perform the functions of a regional council and thus are known as unitary authorities. Chatham Islands Territory undertakes only some of the functions of a regional council, and is therefore not a unitary authority. Territorial authority districts are not subdivisions of regions, and some of them fall within more than one region. Taupo District has the distinction of straddling the boundaries of four different regions. Territorial authorities are based on communities of interest and road access and administer local roading and reserves, sewerage, building consents, the land use and subdivision aspects of resource management, and other local matters.
