NZ Suburbs and Localities
NZ Suburbs and Localities describes the spatial extent and name of communities in urban areas (suburbs) and rural areas (localities) for navigation and location purposes.
The suburb and locality boundaries cover New Zealand including North Island, South Island, Stewart Island/Rakiura, Chatham Islands, and nearby offshore islands.
Each suburb and locality is assigned a name, major name, Territorial Authority and, if appropriate, additional in use names. A population estimate is provided for each suburb and locality by Stats NZ.

- Statement
-
NZ Suburbs and Localities is based on NZ Localities, a dataset originally created and maintained by Fire and Emergency NZ. Cadastral parcel boundaries are used to define most suburb and locality boundaries. In rural areas features such as ridgelines on Topo50 maps will be used to define a boundary. Where the spatial extent and/or name of a suburb/locality is formally established, this will be incorporated into NZ Suburbs and Localities. The coastline boundary is currently a mix of parcel data and topographical data. Urban areas are captured predominantly at 0.1-1 metre and rural areas predominantly at 1-100 metres.
