Summary of our end outcomes and the impacts we will make

End outcome 1: Certainty of property rights

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

Impact:

Land transactions may be undertaken efficiently and with confidence that the legal framework supports them.

End outcome 2: Availability of land information

As well as collecting and maintaining land information, LINZ is responsible for making it available for use by other agencies, particularly 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 and lowers risk. Government plays a significant role where the market cannot always generate or provide the necessary information.

Impact:

The public, and particularly the emergency services, are able to use geographic information that is accurate.

End outcome 3: Best use of Crown assets

All government agencies work to ensure Crown assets are put to their best use. However, LINZ has a central role in managing Crown land and property.

Impacts:

  • The Crown realises a fair return on its leases
  • The public has access to high country land
  • Sensitive lands are protected.

End outcome 4: Enhanced economic and social transformation through facilitation of connections in land information markets

Trusted geospatial information is available, accessible, and able to be shared and used to support the:

  • safety and security of New Zealand
  • growth of an inclusive, innovative economy, and
  • preservation and enhancement of our society, culture and environment.

Impacts:

  • New Zealand is recognised as contributing to global geospatial developments
  • There is greater collaboration across the public sector and between the public and private sectors.
