Electoral boundaries data

I am reaching out to inquire about the possibility of accessing electoral boundaries data. Specifically, we are interested in obtaining information about which street addresses fall within which electoral boundaries.

Our intention is to utilise this data to better organise our members' information based on the electorate they reside in. This would greatly assist us in our efforts to streamline our processes and ensure that our records are as accurate and up-to-date as possible.

We do not hold the data for electorate boundaries by street address. We suggest that they look at the geographic concordance files on Stats NZ's website (latest files here: https://datafinder.stats.govt.nz/table/115227-geographic-areas-table-2024) which has the meshblocks. They can then contact LINZ to find out the corresponding DP IDs that should have street addresses to go with them - DP ID will correspond to a meshblock. Any further questions on this topic should be directed to Stats NZ.
