Dear Requester

By Email Only: [1][FOI #32570 email]

 

 

Tēnā koe,

 

Official information request: 4273276

 

Thank you for your information request to the Far North District Council
(‘FNDC’) received on 14 October 2025. This request has been considered in
accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Official
Information and Meetings Act 1987 (the ‘LGOIMA’).

 

Your request

“I have seen on several historic resource consent documents and
applications dating from the 1980s and 90s excerpts from a hand drawn map
showing the Kerikeri area in detail, including all property boundaries,
deposited plan numbers and nearly every property seems to have a three
digit number in a circle like "222" or where the property has been
subdivided "220/1" and "220/2". Neighbouring properties often have
consecutive numbers but these do not correspond to house numbers.

 

This seems to have been the main map used by the council for planning
purposes for decades and it seems to have been changed and updated over
the years but in each resource consent there is usually only a small
excerpt from the map copied onto an A4 sheet. I can't find the whole map
or any title or description of it.

 

Please could you:

a) Identify what this map is

b) Identify the purpose of the numbers in the circles

c) provide a scanned copy of the whole map, or at least the sheets
relating to the Kerikeri area and particularly Riverview.

d) provide copies of all the different versions of that map which were
used over the years.”

 

FNDC’s response

FNDC’s responses are set out below alongside your respective queries:

Please could you:

a) Identify what this map is – Old Valuation Roll Maps

b) Identify the purpose of the numbers in the circles – Numbers contained
in the circles are the Valuation assessment numbers

c) provide a scanned copy of the whole map, or at least the sheets
relating to the Kerikeri area and particularly Riverview. - Maps of
Riverview area attached.

d) provide copies of all the different versions of that map which were
used over the years. See below

 

Valuation Roll Maps

2 sets of roll maps held on record for the district.

 

Pre-1996  (old assessment/valuation roll numbers)

Drawing No. 430/4 – dated 08-Mar-1990 Riverview area (Snip 1 below)

430 – Roll number for the area (Kerikeri)

4 – Sheet number in the volume

Numbers within circles – Assessment number allocated to each property
(Snip 2 below) 

Full plan attached titled – 1990 Val Map Riverview

 

Converting the example below – the Valuation roll number in 1990 would
translate to:  00430-17900 and 00430-17901
