Objectives of the Vote

LINZ carries out a range of activities that underpin social and economic activity and public service that benefit New Zealanders every day. Our work supports activities as diverse as buying a house, navigating the seas and sending emergency services to the right location.

LINZ carries out three core functions relating to our purpose:

  • management of property rights - administer the survey and title system that forms the basis of New Zealand's property rights system (facilitate the sale, purchase and development of property at reasonable cost), regulate property valuation, manage property rights related to reclaimed marine and costal land and administer New Zealand's overseas investment legislation
  • management of information - generating, collecting, compiling and providing location-based information and information relating to property rights and transactions and facilitating more widespread use of New Zealand's broad range of location-based information (including hydrographic, topographic and geodetic), and
  • management of land - administering a range of Crown-owned lands for the benefit of the New Zealand public and regulate the acquisition and disposal of Crown land by government agencies.

Through carrying out our activities, LINZ seeks to deliver three lasting outcomes for New Zealand:

  • the integrity of the property rights system maintained to encourage trade, commerce and wellbeing
  • increasing the productive use of location-based information, and
  • enabling appropriate economic, environmental and recreational uses of Crown owned and used land.
