Thanks for your enquiry made under the Official Information Act.
Unfortunately, QV are unable to provide bulk data as described in your email of Friday 30th April
2021. The District Valuation Data (DVR) is owned by individual councils throughout New Zealand
and QV do not have a license to sell or supply the DVR data in a bulk format. On this basis, we
decline your request in accordance with section 2(ba)[i] of the Official Information Act.

namely:

On this basis, we also decline your request in accordance with section 10 of the Official Information
Act.
If you would like to get a quote for the supply of this data, we could refer you to a party that does
have a licence for the sale this data.
If you wish to discuss this decision with us, or seek an appropriate licenced source for this
information, please feel free to contact me.
Yours sincerely
