MBIE is reviewing the Canterbury Maps section of the New Zealand Geotechnical Database (NZGD V1), which will no longer be supported after October 2026.

Canterbury Maps — New Zealand Geotechnical Database

As part of our ongoing investment in NZGD, we are focusing resources on maintaining and improving nationally consistent data services. This means reviewing legacy datasets and tools that may no longer align with future priorities.

We understand that Canterbury Maps has in the past provide value for some users. To help inform our next steps, we would like to understand which datasets remain important, which are no longer widely used, and whether equivalent information is already available elsewhere.

Timing

It may take up to 10 minutes to complete this survey. The survey will close at 5:00 pm on Monday, 31st August 2026.
