AIMS: Address Component

Please note: We have a known issue, where 'unit_value' is not represented in the address_component_value field for a number of address records in the AIMS: Address Component table. Where it is not populated, it will present as duplicated addresses. LINZ is working to resolve this issue. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Please read: The AIMS: Address Component data table is part of the set of comprehensive AIMS Address tables.

The Address Component table contains core information relating to a street address such as Street Number or Road Name and is stored in the address_component_value field of the Address Component table. The address_component_type describes the type of component e.g. Address number, road name, town/city. This table also includes component order and group to allow for address number elements and road name elements to be grouped together.

This layer contains information advised to LINZ by Territorial Authorities (TAs). Under the Local Government Act 1974 (section 319) it is the responsibility of the TAs to advise LINZ (the Surveyor General) of all allocated addresses in their district.

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.

For a simplified version of the data contained within these tables see NZ Street Address.

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