Building on our success

Looking to build on our expertise and knowledge so that we continue to deliver value for New Zealand, over the last year LINZ has been developing a framework for describing the value we currently deliver and how we can deliver greater value for New Zealand.

This process confirmed the importance of providing accurate and trustworthy land information and effectively managing Crown land, which remain LINZ's core business. We must continue to provide the core policy, regulatory frameworks and delivery services that contribute to economic transformation and New Zealanders' national identity, and we must do so in a sustainable way.

While we will continue to improve our performance as the Government's centre of electronic land information and expertise by doing what we do better, faster and cheaper, LINZ has begun the transition to a longer-term strategic focus that will describe our contribution into the future. Our analysis showed that we can add further value by enhancing the core and by further sharing our expertise, knowledge and data.

Therefore, we aim to build on the trusted position we have secured in the land information sector and identify new opportunities for land information to contribute further to economic and social outcomes.

To achieve this goal, we will need to further our understanding of land information markets, and build the types of relationships and business skills required to gain, and make use of, that understanding. Over time, LINZ plans to engage with third parties, determining what they require from us in the longer term and helping them to create and deliver new products and services that benefit New Zealanders.

In parallel to furthering this market understanding, LINZ will seek opportunities to use our land information and expertise in new or improved ways, ensuring we contribute to New Zealand's economic growth into the future.

We can do this by encouraging the development of land information markets within New Zealand's economy. Building on our existing capabilities, we will work with other agencies and relevant industries to encourage the development and maturation of land information markets for the benefit of all New Zealanders.
