Description:

LINZ Data Service (LDS) Item Page https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/51681-nz-place-names-nzgb/

Data is extracted from Land Information New Zealand’s (LINZ) ‘New Zealand Gazetteer of Official Geographic Names’, which is maintained by the Board’s Secretariat on behalf of the Board.

Geographical coverage includes New Zealand, its offshore islands, the Ross Sea region of Antarctica, and the seafloor out to the limits of the Extended Continental Shelf.

The the Board has naming jurisdiction over:

Each name is provided with a location represented by a point. More complex geometry (e.g lines for rivers or areas for suburbs) is not currently available.

Each geographic feature has one or more place names associated with it. Place names usually comprise two components – ‘specific’, being for the proper noun, and ‘generic’, being a description of the geographic feature type.

Information provided for each place name may include: name; name status (whether official or unofficial); geographic feature type; authority by which an official name became official; district within which the name is located; geographic location; reference information; history/origin/meaning; and additional notes. Not all information is available for all names.

Positional accuracy is generally the same as 1:50K mapping. Information accuracy reflects information at the time of original capture.
