Projects

The transfer of Crown-owned residential red zone land to local leaders in greater Christchurch is now complete, effectively ending our lead responsibilities for the city’s earthquake recovery and regeneration.

The Crown Aerial Film Library is an incredibly important national taonga/treasure. Toitū Te Whenua’s historical aerial imagery scanning project was a nine-year effort to digitise these for long-term preservation, historical research, and future use in numerous applications.

The Joining Land and Sea project is helping bring together data on Aotearoa New Zealand’s coastline, so changes in sea levels, flooding, and tsunami inundation can be effectively modelled, supporting greater resilience to natural hazards.

Work is underway to modernise how information about land in New Zealand is supplied and accessed.

Seabed 2030 is a collaborative project between The Nippon Foundation of Japan and the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO).
