This dataset was created by Land Information New Zealand to be used in conjunction with the [Fire and Emergency NZ Localities dataset](https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/104830-fire-and-emergency-nz-localities/) to identify and provide official locality names where a name exists in the New Zealand Gazetteer. The Fire and Emergency NZ Localities dataset currently contains many names that are not the official names for those features, suburbs or localities. The New Zealand Geographic Board (Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa) Act 2008, [Section 32](http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2008/0030/30.0/DLM1065412.html) requires all official documents to identify names which are not the official place names as recorded in the [New Zealand Gazetteer](https://gazetteer.linz.govt.nz/). As such this table identifies locality names and the matching official name where an official name in the Gazetteer exists, but Locality name differs from it. It does not take into account any differences in Locality boundaries and the boundary definition of place names in the Gazetteer. This table is a best endeavour and not comprehensive, but will improve over time. Feedback can be sent to linzdataservice@linz.govt.nz

**Please read:** This is the look-up table for Organisation and is part of the [set of NZ Roads tables](https://data.linz.govt.nz/set/88). The Organisation look-up table is used by the following tables; NZ Roads: Road Section Geometry and NZ Roads: Road Name Association. 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. These centrelines are required to indicate the presence of an authoritative road name. Named centrelines are not intended to represent the exact location of a road formation. Named centrelines do not indicate the presence of legal access. For a simplified version of the data contained within these tables see [NZ Roads (Addressing)](https://data.linz.govt.nz/document/3382), which aggregates geometries based on road name, and [NZ Roads Subsections (Addressing)](https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/3383), which holds the individual geometries. Please refer to the [NZ Roads Data Dictionary](https://data.linz.govt.nz/document/1628) for detailed metadata and information about this layer.

**Please read:** The AIMS: Address Position table is part of the [set of comprehensive AIMS Address tables](https://data.linz.govt.nz/set/87). The Address Position table contains the point location of an address. An address can have multiple point positions. The Addresspositiontype describes the position E.g. centroid, set back from road. In the first instance the Landonline address position will be used the positioning of this is 'unknown'. Additional Address Position data may be captured over time. 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.

**Please read:** This layer provides 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. A linear geometry in this layer will consist of the individual road section geometries (as opposed to the [NZ Roads (Addressing)](https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/3382) layer where these have been aggregated). This layer has been simplified from LINZ’s NZ Roads database, a centralised database for the management of national road data. The comprehensive [set of NZ Roads tables](https://data.linz.govt.nz/set/88) is also available. These road centrelines do not represent actual road formation, nor do they represent legal access. They must not be considered as topographic, cadastral, or legal. Some road sections have multiple names; in these cases the non-primary road names are held in additional columns against each road section. This layer contains the core attributes of a road section to support simple searching with locality and territorial authority or provide a road name context for cadastral data views. This layer is a replacement for the NZ [Road Centre Line Subsections (Electoral)](https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/793) layer. The Electoral road and address datasets will be available until May 2017 to allow users further time to transition. Please refer to the [NZ Roads Data Dictionary](https://data.linz.govt.nz/document/1628) for detailed metadata and information about this layer.
