Recommended route
Use the Local Government Commission’s guidance to identify the city, district, unitary or regional council responsible for the place; follow the ‘Identifying your Council’ link to the Stats NZ Geographic Boundary Viewer. This guide does not resolve a council from an individual address. The LGC page is council-identification guidance, not a GIS support directory. Then visit that council’s official website and look for its data catalogue, GIS or data team, or another published contact route. Do not assume every authority publishes the same datasets or uses the same access and update practices.
