It's possible that there are privacy concerns about releasing this data at the meshblock level but there should be no issue with releasing them at higher geographies. Ethnicity data is already released at the meshblock level.

The data should be released as a tabulated data file (preferrably TSV or CSV, but an Excel spreadsheet will do) with the most recent data (probably 2013-4, but there may be 2018-9 data available by the time this request is assessed). Columns would be ""Māori electoral population"" and ""general electoral population"".

","It would give members of the public the data they need to make effective submissions to representation commissions.

It would give electoral system researchers the data they need to investigate the effects of potential changes to the electoral system.

It would give electoral data researchers the population denominators they need to put other electoral data in context.
","Electorate boundaries are required to fit within an population range based on their electoral population. For general electorates the general electoral population is used and for Māori electorates, the Māori electoral population is used. Submitters need to know these electoral populations to understand whether boundary changes are feasible, without this data the ability to make effective submissions is significantly limited.

In particular, without this data it is not feasible for a submission to do much more than tweak existing boundaries. It is possible that there are undiscovered redistricting options that would affect a group of electorates and result in a overall better balance of community of interest. Without access to the population data, members of the public cannot investigate these options and submit these sorts of proposals.

Between representation commissions this data is useful for researchers investigating a range of subjects such as changes to the number of electorates, different types of electoral system, geographic characteristics of the Māori electoral populationm variation in turnout by local area. Māori electorates tend to have a low turn-out: this data could help researchers to better understand why this is.","Agency responded","1","416"

Having the data from before 2007 local elections would allow me to establish ""common time trends"" through a differences in differences econometric model. I hope to show that before NZ switched to proportional representation in the 1990s, election turnout was evolving in the same way for both local and general elections, and that switching systems lead to higher voter turnout in general election compared to local elections.
Given NZ commonwealth status and as an advanced democracy, I am hoping this dataset and subsequent analysis will can shine some insight on how other countries, such as my native Canada, can improve voter engagement and trust in economic and political institutions more broadly - an area that NZ performs very well on in many international rankings. ","Evaluating how effective proportional representation is at increasing voter turnout.
Because New Zealand uses First-past-the-post for most of their local elections, but proportional representation at the national level, it makes a very good candidate for studying the effects that New Zealand's switch to a proportional representation has on voter turnout, and by extent engagement in the political process by voters.","Agency responded","3","372"

"Higher Quality Fire Location Data Feed","2014-10-29 11:24:24","2018-12-17 11:11:39","New Zealand Fire Service","We currently distribute free real-time fire location alerts to 1000+ New Zealanders using the NZ Fire Service's ICAD data feed, however there are a number of limitations with how this data feed is presented, which has made it difficult to develop and maintain this free service for the public.

In our opinion further investment by NZ Fire to ""open up"" ICAD fire location data and improve its quality, will result in significant public benefit.
 
Real-time NZ fire location data is extremely useful to New Zealanders. Each individual can now increase their fire risk awareness, in respect to their specific location requirements, and each individual can regulate their own behaviour and reduce their fire risk (for example farmers can receive relevant scrub fire alerts on near-by farms and change their actions).

For your reference our real-time fire alert service is described here: http://learn.thundermaps.com/fire-alerts-nz-property-owners/

For reference the NZ Fire ICAD feed our service is built on is found here: http://incidents.fire.org.nz/DefaultHome.html

How does this work? 
We have built a ""robot"" that scrapes the ICAD fire data feed and then geo-codes the location of each fire incident and then publishes alerts to subscribers via push notification to phones, or emails, or user feed updates. Because of the low quality of this ICAD data, this process is difficult and cumbersome and therefore does not provide an ideal service for users; however because we’ve already done the work, there is no doubt that the public finds real-time fire alert data useful.

People keep signing up to our free service via word-of-mouth (mostly farmers and property developers), and therefore there is little doubt that the public find this fire alert service/data useful.
 
It is our opinion that other application developers and businesses would find ICAD fire location data highly useful too, if it was provided in an easily consumable format. ThunderMaps has been able to make use of this poor quality ICAD fire data, only because we are specialists in real-time geo-data incident distribution; other developers/businesses however, are not specialists and therefore the current poor quality of the ICAD fire data-feed stops others from making use of it and the public is not as aware of fire incidents as they should be.

We request three things:

1.	That data is made available in an easy to consume and appropriate format for a real-time geo-data feed

2.	That latitude and longitude of the fire incident is included with each incident (not just the incident address)

3.	That as much 'fire description detail' is released as possible with each fire incident report (including incident updates); so that each individual can assess the incident and make an appropriate response.
 
In our opinion further investment by NZ Fire to ""open up"" ICAD fire location data and improve its quality, will result in significant public benefit.

I think the proper name of these line-item descriptions is ""Scopes of Appropriations"". For example, as seen in http://treasury.govt.nz/budget/2011/estimates/est11health.pdf, the description of ""Health Sector Information Systems"" is ""This appropriation is limited to the provision of information technology services and the publication of data derived from these services to the health and disability system.""

Ideally I'd like to have a description for each item in the budget spreadsheets available at http://treasury.govt.nz/budget/2011/data. It would be great to have these descriptions available in the budget expenses/incomes spreadsheets (that's probably the easiest way to do it, you could just add another column to the spreadsheet), or otherwise some other structured computer-readable format like XML or JSON or even semantic HTML tables.","I could change the site so you can hover over an expense and see a paragraph-length description of the item, letting users answer questions like ""what is this, really?"", and help them better understand the government budget.","I run http://wheresmytaxes.co.nz, and some of the budget items are difficult to understand.

The data is available right now, in PDFs like http://treasury.govt.nz/budget/2011/estimates/est11health.pdf on the page http://treasury.govt.nz/budget/2011/estimates.

However, it's very difficult to extract the relevant data from these PDFs so I can incorporate it into the website. I tried writing a program to extract the data, but it proved too difficult (extracting data from PDFs is a nightmare). I could go through and copy the descriptions out by hand, but that would take a very long time (there are thousands of line items in the budget), and all my work would be obsolete when the next budget comes out next year, and I'd have to do it all over again - and so would anybody else who wants to visualise this data.

As a result, the data could be more exposed and easily accessible to the general public and various stakeholders.

There is also the potential of mashing up the data with other data sets to produce compelling data visualisations.

Currently the report generator found at http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/qualifications/ssq/statistics/provider-selected-report.do?reportID=1161649 is difficult to use and slow.

There is no single report which provides a summary on a selected school. As a result, the export to excel function is almost useless. Snippets of information are located on various 'views' which require several clicks and often going back to the start to generate the first report. 

The archived tool found at http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/qualifications/ssq/statistics/index.do provides a better summary of result data than the current reporting tool. However this tool can only be used for data prior to 2008.

2. it would enable researchers and companies to have data for computer vision projects, such as facial recognition, automated crime monitoring and other forms of biometrics

3. it could enable crowdsourced security- citizens could potentially look over the many hours of footage looking for criminal or suspicious activity. If they find something, it could be flagged for further scrutiny by authorities.

4. petty crime is often unreported and CCTV footage is expensive to look over. If the data could be made more widely available, it could potentially mean that the cost of using the footage as evidence reduces.

5. the data could be useful for: bird surveys, pedestrian usage surveys and so forth","There are many areas that could benefit from providing this data:
 
1. people are fearful of surveillance
2. there isn't enough data for machine learning research

- Allowing more people to view the zones and report issues with the data (The zone file has lots of small errors in it)

- Reducing the reliance on schoolzones.co.nz which is often offline and is a very old and unfriendly website to use.


Third parties could build better tools on top of the existing data exposing it to more users. This is especially relevant to property websites. 

The dataset is currently tightly controlled by a third party commercial provider and we would like to see this managed by the MOE more closely. The dataset is also updated every week by MOE but only released every three months. Also when this data has been OIA requested the data is out of date immediately (http://koordinates.com/layer/743-nz-school-zones-sept-2010/) and this is not a good thing as people may rely on old data to make decisions. 

Having this data as a free, open dataset would allow sites to keep up-to-date versions easily accessible by their users.

Market rent is a useful guide when you are deciding what the rent will be. It needs to be comparable to the rent charged for other properties of a similar type, size and location.","","This data is currently only available via the website or (if you can find who to talk to) via a paid for download.
