Description
The Geography Boundaries and Insights New Zealand dataset is a curated collection of authoritative geographic layers sourced from Toitū Te Whenua LINZ. It brings together key boundary and spatial reference datasets into a single, analysis-ready product to support mapping, planning and insight generation across New Zealand.
This product includes the following LINZ datasets:
Building Outlines
Detailed polygon outlines representing the footprint of buildings, supporting analysis of built form, density and urban structure.Land Districts
Official land district boundaries used for land administration, legal reference and regional analysis.Primary Road Parcels
Spatial representations of primary road parcels, enabling transport analysis, infrastructure planning and connectivity modelling.Suburbs and Localities
Recognised suburb and locality boundaries that support place-based analysis, reporting and data aggregation.
Designed to integrate easily with address, cadastre and property datasets, this data is suitable for both spatial analysis and broader data integration use cases.

Use Cases
Mapping and Spatial Visualisation
Enables accurate mapping of buildings, roads, suburbs and land districts, supporting clear visualisation of geographic patterns, density and spatial relationships across urban and regional areas.
Location Planning
Supports land use planning, transport and infrastructure analysis by providing consistent geographic boundaries and building footprints that help assess development patterns, service coverage and network connectivity.
Location Data Enrichment
Acts as a common reference layer for joining operational, customer or asset data to recognised geographic areas such as suburbs, localities and land districts, improving consistency across analysis and reporting.
