LINZ Website Improved

30 June 2008

LINZ will be launching an improved www.linz.govt.nz website in the coming weeks.

The website has thousands of pages of information on New Zealand's land and seabed: from geodetic formulae and information on titles; to topographic maps and hydrographic charts; and Crown land biosecurity.

The main focus of the new website is cleaner, clearer navigation and up-to-date content.

“Our aim is to make it easier and faster for users to find the information they need,” says Justine Gilliland, LINZ Manager Strategic Communications. “The site had grown iteratively over the years since it was created. It was time to take a look at the big picture and make the site work more coherently.”

The website will have a refreshed design and clearer navigation. New features will include distinct 'Find Out More' pages for each section, providing a quicker connection with related information. A powerful new search engine will also allow users to find the information they want more quickly. Content has also been reviewed and updated. The website will better deliver regulatory and policy information and new services such as searches for geodetic marks.
