Hi Chris
Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) draws data from the Fire Service NZ Localities / Suburbs dataset under licence.
The dataset is owned by New Zealand Fire and Emergency and as such it would not be appropriate and LINZ has no
plans to release this dataset.
If you would like to know more about Fire and Emergency NZ plans for this dataset, you can contact them directly at
dsi‐[email address]

I trust this is helpful.
Kind regards
Fiona

Hi Issy
Please can you provide me with information about where Chris can access the localities data – to fill gap below?
At the moment based on your response below I will be saying:
“Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) draws data from the Fire Service NZ Localities / Suburbs dataset
under licence.
The dataset belongs to New Zealand Fire and Emergency and we are advised the agency released this data
set earlier this year.
UNDER
You can find this data at xxxxx”
We need to respond to Chris asap.
Cheers
Fiona

Hi Issy
By ‘latest data’ do you mean the Fire Service localities data set? So, just to confirm are you saying Chris already has
this but he may not realise it?

Kia ora Fiona,
Apparently NZ Herald should already have access to our latest data released earlier this year, but they may be
unaware so feel free to let them know

Subject: media query to LINZ re Fire Service localities data base
Hi there Fire and Emergency comms,
We’ve received the following media inquiry from the NZ Herald about our use (under licence) of the Fire Service
INFORMATION
localities data base. It came up as we released the buildings outline dataset last week.
Hi,
RELEASED
I have been looking at the new (and very impressive) buildings outline dataset discussed
here https://medium.com/on‐location/an‐open‐building‐outlines‐dataset‐for‐new‐zealand‐eef8b558ef7a
I noticed that each building is classified into a suburb or locality ‐ I also noticed that those names appear to
be drawn from the fire service localities dataset ‐ which hasn't been publicly released.
OFFICIAL
So if I am correct that these are from the fire service dataset I would like to know what the plans are for
releasing the fire service dataset. Or is LINZ planning to make use of the fire service dataset without
releasing it? THE
Cheers

We are proposing to provide the following response to Chris.
“Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) draws data from the Fire Service NZ Localities / Suburbs dataset
under licence.
The dataset belongs to New Zealand Fire and Emergency and as such it would not be appropriate and LINZ
has no plans to release this dataset.”
Please can you let me know if that looks OK at your end? Any queries or comments on this? We’d like to send it out
this afternoon if possible.
Nga mihi
Fiona
