I would like the Localities GIS data as requested in this post https://diadata.cwp.govt.nz/datasetrequest/show/226
currently there is no public comprehensive dataset of suburbs. Most local authorities and businesses use this dataset instead
Will be able to provide better GIS services to people with locality areas relevant to them
The New Zealand Fire Service Commission is part of a consortium of agencies which some years ago developed a national suburb and localities dataset (NZ Localities) to provide support for enhanced Emergency Response, postal addressing and property information. The consortium, which includes QVNZ, NZ Post, LINZ, and representatives from territorial local authorities, meet regularly to provide updates and maintenance of the NZ localities dataset. The consortium works closely with territorial local authorities to agree changes and maintenance of the Suburb boundary definitions and naming conventions. The NZ Localities dataset is available under license at no cost. To complete the license agreement and receive the data, please contact dsi-support@fire.org.nz.

good afternoon to whoever is processing my enquiry. Pre Covid 2020, someone from your agency was forwarding updated GIS "Urban Fire Boundary" shapefile definitions for the Hutt City area. This has now ceased since 2020.
Hutt City is re-vamping its internal map app service and we would idealy like a Rest endpoint web link, to have a 'live' connection. A downloadable layer is an option, but we would prefer to be on a regular update service as and when you guys make changes. Your thoughts please.
regards, Mark.J
