End Outcomes - The Results New Zealand Can Expect From Our Work

LINZ aims to ensure:

• certainty of New Zealand's property rights and interests
• land information is available:
  • to enable the New Zealand economy to function effectively, and
  • for New Zealanders' safety and security
• Crown assets are put to their best use.

We acknowledge that we are not the only contributor to these end outcomes. LINZ works with other government agencies to improve on what we might individually be able to contribute.

Certainty of New Zealand's property rights and interests

"Certainty" means that New Zealand property rights and interests are able to be determined practically with an appropriate level of confidence.

Availability of land information

As well as collecting and maintaining land information, LINZ is responsible for making it available for use by other agencies such as emergency services and the Defence Force.

In a knowledge economy, the availability of information that can be trusted, understood and aggregated improves decision making, reduces waste, lowers risk and provides greater certainty. Government plays a significant role where the market can't always generate or provide the necessary information.

Best use of Crown assets

All government agencies work to ensure that Crown assets are put to their best use. LINZ, however, has listed this as an end outcome because of our central role in managing Crown land and property.
