This is the basic data behind www.landcheck.org.nz that allow a public lookup of the housing status of properties in Christchurch. This should be made available in an appropriate geospatial format such as shapefile, with a point or polygon for each address, and the colour status of the property (red, orange, green, white).

The current landcheck.org.nz website only provides single lookup for an address, but doesn't provide bulk viewing plotting of properties to help businesses and communities planning future activities in suburbs.

Release of this data would allow businesses and community groups to integrate the land status into planning (via GIS) to determine where activities should best be targeted. In addition, this would enable proper mapping websites of property status to be dynamically viewed at various zoom levels - a capability that does not exist on the current website.
