3. Which aerodromes have changed their runway numbers in the last 10 years?
4. Does the CAA publish runway number changes publicly when they occur? If so, where? (other than the aerodrome charts themselves on AIP being updated)

Dear Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand,

I would like to request the following information about CAA's protocol around runway numbering/designations:

1. How often are runway numbers reviewed in response to changes in magnetic north?
2. Is this review the responsibility of CAA or each individual aerodrome operator?
3. Which aerodromes have changed their runway numbers in the last 10 years?
