Dear Michela
Information Request –
New Zealand Fire Service Localities data (suburbs) I refer to your official information request dated 15 October 2020, asking for New Zealand
Localities data, suburbs and post codes
.
This letter is to notify you that Fire and Emergency New Zealand has transferred part of your
request to New Zealand Post in accordance with section 14 of the Official Information Act 1982
(
OIA).
The reason for the transfer is that your request for New Zealand post code data, is not held by us
but is believed to be held by New Zealand Post. In these circumstances, we are required to
transfer your request. Under the OIA New Zealand Post has 20 working days from the date it
received the transfer of the request to respond to your original request.
You also asked for shape data showing suburb boundaries in New Zealand. Fire and Emergency
maintain a dataset called New Zealand Localities which shows suburb boundaries for the country.
Land information New Zealand hold the data on our behalf, you can access that data at
https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/104830-fire-and-emergency-nz-localities/
Yours sincerely
Jenny Stevens
