New Zealand Layers - Page 3

This layer provides the current non-primary parcel polygons (e.g. easements) and some associated descriptive data that details the appellation (legal description), purpose, and size.

A non-primary parcel is a portion of land that that essentially enables the transfer of some rights to another i.e. usually limits the exclusive rights that would normally be associated with a primary parcel.

Non primary parcels include the following examples:
• an easement, including an esplanade strip or an access strip
• a covenant
• a lease or an area associated with a lease
• a licence or a permit area
• a unit or common property for the purposes if the Unit Titles Act 1972
• a moveable marginal strip
• a roadway or a restricted roadway that is an encumbrance over a primary parcel

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 combination of this layer with the primary parcels layer provides all spatially available current parcels for New Zealand (i.e. excludes historic and pending parcels and non-primary parcels that have not been spatially captured in Landonline).

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 provides the current Hydro parcel polygons with associated descriptive data.

The combination of this layer with the other land parcels and road parcels equates to the primary parcels layer which provides all current parcels for New Zealand (i.e. excludes historic and pending parcels).

This set of three parcel layers (land, road and hydro) enables easy access to the most common groupings of parcel intents (excluding non primary parcels).

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)

This layer provides the current non primary linear parcels (e.g. Centreline easements) and their associated descriptive data as a single layer to facilitate their use independently of other non primary parcels.

Linear parcels are non-primary parcels that are defined by a line and a description e.g. the width. The most common example is centreline easements (in gross) e.g. Pipeline easements.

If you require approved or historic linear parcels see the All Parcels Layer

This layer provides all linear parcels (e.g. Centreline easements) and their associated descriptive data as a single layer to facilitate their use independently of the all polygon parcels.

NOTE: This layer contains primary and non-primary approved, current or historic linear parcels (see status flag descriptions for more information).

In conjunction with the Parcels, this layer provides the easiest way to create a relationship with associated tables such as Parcel Title Association List, Parcel Statutory Actions List and Survey Affected Parcels List.

This layer contains spatial and non-spatial (without geometry) parcels. The Landonline system which manages the data maintains non-spatial parcels for many different reasons. The non-spatial parcels can only be accessed via WFS or as a full layer file download. No layer clips can be used. The most common reasons for non-spatial parcels are:

1. Flats and unit survey plans will create non-spatial parcels for referencing property rights. This is because the Landonline system has not yet been designed to support the spatial definition of these plans.

2. Titles which were not linked to a spatial parcel during the Landonline title conversion project created non-spatial parcel references. As titles are spatially linked many of these non-spatial parcels will be made historic or will be merged with the associated spatial parcel.

Parcels within this layer contain the following status flags:

• Approved: The definition of a survey-defined parcel that has been processed and authorised as correct in terms of the survey network.

• Current: A parcels that has been registered or the parcel is made current by a statutory action against a Legalisation plan.

• Survey Historic: A parcel that has been extinguished from the primary cadastral network but still exists in live Title estates.

• Historic: A parcel that has been extinguished from the primary cadastral network and no longer exists in live Title estates or has an current recorded statutory action. Typically this happens when a parcel is subdivided or merged, and new titles or actions are registered against the replacing parcels. Note: Only parcel made historic since the beginning of Landonline operations (2002) are included. See this page for the actual dates when Landonline operations started.

The Linear parcels within 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.

Node can be either a physical mark or a virtual point and contains information that relates to the spatial position of that mark, its association to other marks or points, and measurements and/or calculations. Nodes may be created without being Marks (for example, an unmarked node where an instrument has been setup, a boundary point that is unable to be physically marked because of occupational obstructions etc.). Similarly, Nodes may be created prior to Reduced Observations being available. Node is the fundamental entity in the structure of topology (shapes/geometry of features/objects) to represent the cadastral survey layer and other layers in graphical form.
