Our tip

You must attribute the data back to its original creator and have this licence associated with the data at all times. This is available from the metadata information in the Details tab of the dataset.

Data that is licensed for one specified use only

There is a small portion of our data that is not available for re-use.

This is for two main reasons:

  1. The licence for the data, where the data was acquired from a third party under a licence, may prohibit on-supply.
  2. The data is of a sensitive nature containing personal or private information, or it is a draft and not yet released for consultation.

For example, the following datasets are licensed for a specified use:

  • soils layer provided by LandCare
  • property information from LINZ
  • DOC conservation areas.

We may release some of these datasets to contractors working for us, under the terms and conditions tied to their contract.
