Territorial Authority Subdivision 2023

This dataset is the definitive version of the annually released (territorial authority) subdivision boundaries as at 1 January 2023 as defined by the territorial authorities and Local Government Commission and maintained by Stats NZ. This version contains 81 subdivisions, excluding area outside subdivision. Subdivisions are set up under the Local Government Act 2002 and Local Electoral Act 2001. They are provided to ensure fair geographical representation on a community or local board. A subdivision is a division of a community or local board area for electoral purposes. As such, they nest within community or local boards. Subdivision boundaries are reviewed in the year before the three-yearly local government elections. A number of territorial authorities do not have subdivisions, and if they do, the subdivisions do not necessarily cover the whole territorial authority area. Where a community or local board is divided into subdivisions all of the community or local board area must be included in a subdivision. There was a large increase in the number of subdivisions between 2010 and 2011. This was due to the creation of the Auckland Council to replace Auckland Regional Council and seven territorial authorities in 2010. Twenty-one local boards were established, a number of which contain subdivisions. Subdivisions are defined at meshblock level, and do not coincide with the statistical area 1 (SA1) or statistical area 2 (SA2) geographies. Numbering Subdivisions are numbered based on their corresponding territorial authority. Each subdivision has a unique five-digit number. The first three digits refer to the territorial authority that the subdivision lies within. The following two digits are sequential and represent the number of subdivisions within the territorial authority. For example, Waipa District (017) has four subdivisions numbered 01701, 01702, 01703 and 01704. The rest of the district is not represented by a subdivision and is coded 01799 (Area Outside Subdivision). Generalised version This generalised version has been simplified for rapid drawing and is designed for thematic or web mapping purposes. Macrons Names are provided with and without tohutō/macrons. The column name for those without macrons is suffixed ‘ascii’. Digital data Digital boundary data became freely available on 1 July 2007.本数据集为截至2023年1月1日的年度发布版领地行政当局（territorial authority）细分边界的权威版本，由各领地行政当局与地方政府委员会（Local Government Commission）划定，新西兰统计局（Stats NZ）维护。本版本共包含81个细分选区，不含选区外区域。细分选区依据《2002年地方政府法》（Local Government Act 2002）与《2001年地方选举法》（Local Electoral Act 2001）设立，旨在保障社区或地方议会层面的公平地理代表权。细分选区是为选举目的对社区或地方议会辖区进行的划分，因此隶属于社区或地方议会。细分选区的边界会在每三年一度地方政府选举的前一年进行审查。部分领地行政当局未设立细分选区；即便设立，细分选区也未必覆盖领地行政当局的全部辖区。若某社区或地方议会被划分为细分选区，则该社区或地方议会的全部辖区均需纳入某个细分选区。2010至2011年间，细分选区的数量大幅增长，这源于2010年奥克兰议会（Auckland Council）成立，取代了奥克兰区域委员会（Auckland Regional Council）与其他7个领地行政当局，共设立21个地方议会，其中部分设有细分选区。细分选区以统计街区（meshblock）为单位划定，与统计区域1（statistical area 1, SA1）或统计区域2（statistical area 2, SA2）的地理边界并不重合。编号规则：细分选区的编号基于其所属的领地行政当局编制，每个细分选区均拥有唯一的五位数编号。前三位数字代表该细分选区所属的领地行政当局，后两位为顺序编号，代表该领地行政当局下辖的细分选区序号。例如，怀帕区（Waipa District，编号017）下辖4个细分选区，编号分别为01701、01702、01703与01704；该区其余未被细分选区覆盖的区域编码为01799（选区外区域）。简化版本：本简化版本已做轻量化处理，用于快速绘图，适用于专题地图或网络地图制作场景。长音符号说明：名称同时提供带长音符号（tohutō/macrons）与不带长音符号的版本，不带长音符号的列名后缀为‘ascii’。数字数据说明：本数据集的数字边界数据已于2007年7月1日免费开放。
