Parcel layers

Current parcels that define the extent of fundamental rights of Registered Ownership. They form a layer that cover New Zealand without gaps or overlaps.

Examples: Lots, sections, Māori land blocks, roads, railways, rivers, lakes, the sea, etc.

A special type of parcel that can be associated with primary parcel intents.  

They are commonly used for Primary parcels but are defined in 3 dimensions and therefore may overlap current primary parcels.

These are Primary parcels, however when they become current, they violate the no-overlaps rule (for example tunnels).

For more information on strata parcels, see: 
Capturing of height-limited parcels

This layer consists of Non-Primary parcels only.  

Current parcels in this layer cannot overlap:

• more than 1 current primary parcel unless the primary parcels are in 1 title (CSR 2021 rule 47)
• any other secondary parcels.

If parcels in this layer overlap:

• intersection points must be included where they intersect, and
• individual parcels must be created for each portion.

To avoid intersections the Tertiary layer can be used where parcels cross each other.

Generally, parcels in this layer are Easement parcels.

This layer consists of Non-Primary parcels only.  

Current parcels in this layer cannot overlap:

• more than 1 current primary parcel unless the primary parcels are in 1 title (CSR 2021 rule 47)
• any other tertiary parcels.

If parcels in this layer overlap:

• intersection points must be included where they intersect, and
• individual parcels must be created for each portion.

To avoid intersections, the Secondary layer can be used where parcels cross each other.

Parcels which have no topology defined in Landonline. This includes:  

• flats and units where there is no spatial definition in Landonline, except as depicted on a plan graphic
• non-survey defined parcels.
