This dataset contains the core components of an address to support simple searching or use of this layer to provide context and is a replacement for the NZ Street Address (Electoral) dataset. This 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.

The existing address and road datasets will be available for 6 months after AIMS go-live to allow users further time to transition.This version will be replacing NZ Street Address (Electoral) dataset.

Please refer to the Street Address Data Dictionary for detailed metadata and information about this layer.
