Timaru District Data

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

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 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. For more information see

This layer contains the index tiles for LiDAR data from the Timaru river areas captured in 2014.
The DEM is available as layer Canterbury - Timaru Rivers LiDAR 1m DEM (2014).
The DSM is available as layer Canterbury - Timaru Rivers LiDAR 1m DSM (2014).
The LAS point cloud and vendor project reports are available from OpenTopography.

Lidar was captured for Environment Canterbury Regional Council by Aerial Surveys in July and August 2014. The datasets were generated by Aerial Surveys and their subcontractors. The survey area includes the Geraldine and Temuka township areas and the lower Rangitata, Orari, and Opihi river corridors. Data management and distribution is by Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand.

Data comprises:
•DEM: tif or asc tiles in NZTM2000 projection, tiled into a 1:1,000 tile layout
•DSM: tif or asc tiles in NZTM2000 projection, tiled into a 1:1,000 tile layout
•Point cloud: las tiles in NZTM2000 projection, tiled into a 1:1,000 tile layout

Planned pulse density is > 1 pulse/square metre.

Vertical datum is NZVD2016.

This index enables you to identify the third party bathymetric data held and used by LINZ on its NZ coastal nautical charts. Some of our data holdings date back to the 1950s. The polygons comprising the index show the extent of the survey datasets. The attributes attached to each polygon will enable you to view, amongst other attributes, the age and quality of the bathymetric data.

Please refer to the LINZ Bathymetric Index Data Dictionary for further information about the attributes of this dataset.

The bathymetric data is not downloadable from the LINZ Data Service. Datasets prior to the year 2000 are predominantly available only as georeferenced TIFF images of the original hard copy sounding sheets. Data post-2000 is often available as both georeferenced TIFF images and as digital data files (vector data in plain text format).

Requests for the bathymetric data should be sent to hydro@linz.govt.nz with “Hydro Bathy Data” in the subject line. Requests must, as a minimum, specify the id, chart_no and serial_no as shown in the attributes attached to each polygon representing the datasets of interest.

The provision of third party funded bathymetric data may be subject to some delay as LINZ confirms with the data owner that they are happy for their data to be released. The owner may attach conditions to the release of their data.

LINZ also holds publically funded New Zealand bathymetric data, which can be readily released under a Creative Commons licence for reuse. View our "NZ Bathymetric Data Index" dataset to request this data.
