Our work

We manage around 2 million hectares of the land that the Crown owns. We maintain the land, and manage tenancies and work with iwi to release land for Treaty settlements.

Our work helps people access information about where things are on the land, below the surface of the land, and underwater.

We assess applications for consent and enforce compliance to make sure overseas investments are good for New Zealand.

The property information system brings together non-private information to help people and agencies make decisions.

The survey and legal framework supports land ownership and values. Statutory officers make sure this framework is working well.

We support Māori and iwi to access information about their land and natural resources.

The New Zealand Geographic Board Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa makes place names official so that there is an agreed name for a place.
