**This dataset has been replaced by** [NZ Roads Subsections (Addressing)](https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/3383) **and will be deprecated on 31 May 2017.** It is currently being ported from the new database in an effort to minimise disruption for customers. See [NZ Roads Data Dictionary](https://data.linz.govt.nz/document/1628) for field mappings to the new dataset. This layer provides a feature representing Electoral road subsection (e.g. a city block) to which associated data such electoral addresses can be attached. In Landonline a road name is commonly assigned to multiple stretches of roading such as between intersections with other roads. For this layer each of these individual road sections have their own geometry (as opposed to the Road Centre Line Layer where they have been aggregated). A road may also have more than one road name, some road centreline geometries will duplicate other roads subsections even though there is in reality only one road formation. In addition, a road name is also commonly duplicated across the country e.g. "Queen Street", "High street" etc The source Landonline data exists in order to provide linear geometries against which official road names and street addresses can be recorded. Its purpose is also to enable automated meshblock address reports (for electoral and statistical purposes) so as to identify the presence of a road name in meshblocks where street addresses do not exist. The road centrelines recorded in Landonline do not represent actual road formation, nor do they represent legal access. They must not be considered as topographic, cadastral, or legal. As a general rule those that are not within a Road Parcels Layer should be treated as being of highly variable accuracy. They do however meet the purposes for which they have been captured, and can provide a valuable resource for other purposes provided that the user(s) understand their origin and consequential limitations. Warning: The purpose of the location field is to enable differentiation between roads of the same name in the dataset. It should not be considered official nor part of a valid postal address. It can however be used as an indicative guide to location within a Territorial Authority, or in the case of regional road networks, as an indicative guide to location within New Zealand.

This layer provides the **current** strata parcel polygons and their associated descriptive data as a single layer to facilitate their use independently of other primary parcels or non primary parcels. Strata parcels are portions of land where the vertical extent is limited. The combination of this layer with the primary parcels layer provides all current parcels for New Zealand (i.e. excludes Historic and Pending parcels) If you require approved or historic parcels see the [All Parcels Layer](http://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/1571-nz-all-parcels) This layer has a nominal accuracy of 0.1-1m in urban areas and 1-100m in rural areas. For more detailed information about parcel accuracies please refer to the [Survey Boundary Marks](http://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/774-nz-survey-boundary-marks) layer which contains accuracies for each parcel node. The originating data for parcel/title associations includes some non-official sources where the official data does not support a link.

The Population data table is part of [NZ Suburbs and Localities Dataset](https://data.linz.govt.nz/set/7364-nz-suburbs-and-localities-dataset/). This table contains the population estimate for each suburb and locality, provided by StatsNZ. --- [NZ Suburbs and Localities](https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/113764-nz-suburbs-and-localities/) is an easy to use layer generated from the normalised NZ Suburbs and Localities Dataset. It 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.

**Please read:** The AIMS: Addressable Object table is part of the [set of comprehensive AIMS Address tables](https://data.linz.govt.nz/set/87). An addressable object is the object the address is assigned to. This could be a parcel, building or unit. Parcel will be used as the Addressable Object initially. Over time LINZ will more accurately implement the addressableobject, for example using rating unit and building information. The Addressable Object table contains information describing the type of addressable object and its life-cycle, as well as the organisation responsible for assigning the addressable object. More information relating to Addressable Object is available in the Address data dictionary. The comprehensive address dataset includes eight data tables and nine lookup tables. The dataset has been sourced from LINZ’s Address Information Management System (AIMS), a centralised database for the management of national addresses, including for electoral purposes. This set of normalised tables replaces the single Landonline: Street Address layer currently published on LDS. This layer contains information advised to LINZ by Territorial Authorities (TAs). [Under the Local Government Act 1974 (section 319)](http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1974/0066/latest/DLM420385.html) it is the responsibility of the TAs to advise LINZ (the Surveyor General) of all allocated addresses in their district. For a simplified version of the data contained within these tables see [NZ Street Address](https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/3353). Please refer to the [Street Address Data Dictionary](https://data.linz.govt.nz/document/1627) for detailed metadata and information about this layer.

**Please read:** This is the Road Name table, which is part of the [set of NZ Roads tables](https://data.linz.govt.nz/set/88). The Road Name table is a normalised list of road and route names, encompassing all authoritative road names and unofficial road names required for electoral purposes. The NZ Roads dataset includes eight data tables and eleven lookup tables. The dataset has been sourced from LINZ’s NZ Roads database, a database for the management of national roads, including those managed for addressing purposes. This set of normalised tables replaces the Landonline: Road Centre Line layer and the Landonline: Road Name and Landonline: Road Name Association tables currently published on LDS.

**This dataset has been replaced by the** [NZ Street Address](https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/3353) **and will be deprecated on 31 May 2017**. It is currently being ported from the new database in an effort to minimise disruption for customers. See [Street Address Data Dictionary](https://data.linz.govt.nz/document/1627) for field mappings to the new dataset. This layer provides all allocated addresses as advised to LINZ by Territorial Authorities (TAs). Under the Local Government Act 1974 (section 319) it is the responsibility of the TAs to advise LINZ (the Surveyor General) of all allocated addresses in their district. ______________________ Local Government Act 1974 **319B Allocation of property numbers** (1) For electoral, postal, and other purposes the council may allocate a number to any area of land or building or part of a building within its district and may change the number allocated to any such area of land or building. (2) The council shall comply with any request from a Chief Surveyor to allocate a number to or change the number of any area of land or building or part of a building in its district. (3) The principal administrative officer shall advise the Chief Surveyor of the land district in which the land or building is situated of the numbers allocated under subsection (1) or subsection (2). ______________________ Generally allocated addresses will be represented by a single point. However there was an historical practice to represent only the principal address allocated by Territorial Authorities, and not include addresses assigned to individual flats. Similarly there was an historical practice to aggregate addresses into ranges, especially where there are many addresses for a single parcel. We are working (where possible) to resolve these historical anomalies and have each allocated address represented where possible. The datasets also includes addresses where the Surveyor General has requested (under the Local Government Act) that a TA allocated an address. The road name and locality fields attributed to an address are taken from the associated road attributes. These roads are stored as centrelines (see NZ Road Centre Line (Electoral)) and reflect the road names as assigned by the TA responsible. The locality name ensures that if duplicate road names exist in TA that the number/road combination can still be unique by using the locality field. Wherever address points have been provided in spatial data files by a TA, LINZ will import this data and use the exact location as defined by the TA. Where non spatial data is provided LINZ adds the location of an address point with the mandatory priority to locate that address point within the correct meshblock. The location of the front door of an elector's dwelling within the correct meshblock is a fundamental requirement of the electoral system (Section 72 Electoral Act 1993). Highly desirable priorities for the location of an address point are to have it in the same property and parcel as the dwelling and on the correct side of the physical and legal roads. It is also a desirable priority to have the address point in the same location as the dwelling and/or at the location of the property entrance.
