LINZ Statement of Intent 2010-2013

Land Information New Zealand’s (LINZ) Statement of Intent 2010-13 was tabled in Parliament today.

The Statement of Intent (SOI) is a public accountability document published annually, and details LINZ’s strategic direction for the coming three years.

Increasing the use of geospatial information is a priority area for LINZ. Geospatial information - data that is linked to geographic location – is an increasingly important driver of New Zealand’s economic and societal growth.

Our other two priorities relate to land management.

We will work with the Office of Treaty Settlements and other agencies to meet the Government’s deadline of 2014 for negotiating historic Treaty of Waitangi claims. We will also continue to implement the Government’s direction for iconic Crown land in the South Island high country by ensuring the rents we set allow run-holders to manage their land productively and protect its value.

Together with increasing the use of geospatial information, these form the Government’s three priorities for LINZ.

Alongside these areas of Government priority are our other key initiatives, which are aimed at contributing to grow the economy, delivering better services to New Zealanders, and continuing to improve LINZ’s own performance.
