NZ Wards - Archive

Topicality: 01-01-2026 Projection: New Zealand Transverse Mercator (NZTM) This layer contains the archive of Ward boundaries as defined by the regional councils and Local Government Commission but maintained by Stats NZ (the custodian). Wards were originally set up within any territorial authority with a population of at least 20,000. Wards are defined under the Local Electoral Act 2001 and result from dividing a territorial authority for electoral purposes. The ward system was designed to allow for the recognition of communities within a territorial authority and to increase community involvement in the local government system. Territorial authorities can now choose whether they would like to maintain electoral wards. As a result, the number of wards has steadily decreased since they were first created in 1989. Ward boundaries are reviewed in the year before the three-yearly local government elections. This layer get updated yearly with the latest boundary data. You can use this layer when you need any year of boundary data in your map. By setting a filter on the dataset year you can filter on specific year of the dataset. For information about the fields in this dataset go to the Data tab. The layer is further generalised by Eagle Technology for improved performance on the web, therefore it doesn't fully represent the official boundaries. If you only need the latest boundary data in your map you can use the current version of this dataset. All the current versions of Stats NZ Boundary layers can be found here. The official dataset can be found on https://datafinder.stats.govt.nz. This layer is offered by Eagle Technology (Official Esri Distributor). Eagle Technology offers services that can be used in the ArcGIS platform. The Content team at Eagle Technology updates the layers on a regular basis and regularly adds new content to the Living Atlas. By using this content and combining it with other data you can create new information products quickly and easily.
