Māori Ward 2026

Description Refer to the current geographies boundaries table for a list of all current geographies and recent updates. This dataset is the definitive version of the Māori ward boundaries as at 1 January 2026, as defined by the territorial authorities and/or Local Government Commission and maintained by Stats NZ. In 2026, there are 46 wards (excluding Area Outside Māori Ward) within 40 territorial authorities. The Local Electoral Act 2001 provides that Māori wards may be established in territorial authorities. If a territorial authority decides to have Māori wards, the wards within the council are known as general wards and Māori wards. The first Māori ward was established by representation review in 2019 and first appeared in the 2020 geographic boundaries released by Stats NZ. Numbering Māori wards are numbered based on their corresponding territorial authority. Each Māori ward has a unique five-digit code. The first three digits represent the territorial authority that the Māori ward lies within. The following two digits are sequential and represent the number of Māori wards within a territorial authority. For example, Nameless District (084) has two Māori wards numbered 08401 and 08402. If part or all of Nameless District is not represented by a Māori ward it is coded 08499 ‘Area outside Māori Ward”. There is also a code of 99999 for those areas outside of territorial authority areas. Maintenance The Local Electoral Act 2001 provides for Māori ward boundaries to be reviewed before every second triennial local government election. A new Māori ward classification is released when a change occurs, these are often released as at 1 January to coincide with the update of meshblocks. Lineage These boundaries are derived from the meshblock pattern. Using spatial processing tools, the meshblocks are dissolved to form higher-level geographies. The original vertices delineating the meshblock boundary pattern were digitised in 1991 from 1:5,000 scale urban maps and 1:50,000 scale rural maps. The magnitude of error of the original digital points would have been in the range of +/- 10 metres in urban areas and +/- 25 metres in rural areas. Where meshblock boundaries coincide with cadastral boundaries the magnitude of error will be within the range of 1–5 metres in urban areas and 1-100 metres in rural areas, this being the estimated magnitude of error in Landonline. High-definition version This high definition (HD) version is the most detailed geometry, suitable for use in GIS for geometric analysis operations and for the computation of areas, centroids and other metrics.

The column name for those without macrons is suffixed ‘ascii’. Digital data Digital boundary data became freely available on 1 July 2007.
