This provides a polygon coastline and islands layer which is based on the Topo50 products. It is a combination of the following layers:

• NZ Coastlines (Topo 1:50k)
• NZ Island Polygons (Topo 1:50k)
• NZ Auckland Is Island Polygons (Topo, 1:50k)
• NZ Campbell Is / Motu Ihupuku Island Polygons (Topo, 1:50k)
• NZ Antipodes Is Island Polygons (Topo, 1:25k)
• NZ Kermadec Is Island Polygons (Topo, 1:25k)
• NZ Bounty Is Island Polygons (Topo, 1:25k)
• NZ Snares Is / Tini Heke Island Polygons (Topo, 1:25k)
• NZ Chatham Is island polygons (Topo, 1:50k)

This topographic coastline is the line forming the boundary between the land and sea, defined by mean high water.

Islands from the NZ Island Polygons layer that lie within the NZ Coastline and Chatham Islands areas (i.e. islands in lakes, rivers and estuaries) have been removed.

The GIS workflow to create the layer is:

1. NZ Coastlines were converted from a polyline to a polygon using a polyline to polygon tool.
2. The resulting coastal polygon was then used as an input into an erase tool and run against the NZ Island Polygon layer to remove all islands lying within the NZ Mainland and Stewart Island.
3. This was then merged with the NZ Chatham Is island polygons (Topo, 1:50k) that have had the islands within the main island polygon removed, NZ Auckland Is Island Polygons (Topo, 1:50k), NZ Campbell Is / Motu Ihupuku Island, NZ Antipodes Is Island Polygons (Topo, 1:25k), NZ Kermadec Is Island Polygons (Topo, 1:25k), NZ Bounty Is Island Polygons (Topo, 1:25k) and NZ Snares Is / Tini Heke Island Polygons (Topo, 1:25k) layers using a merge tool.

This dataset is the definitive version of the annually released regional council boundaries for 2020 as defined by the regional councils and/or Local Government Commission, and maintained by Stats NZ (the custodian). This version contains 17 categories.

The regional council is the top tier of local government in New Zealand. There are 16 regional councils in New Zealand (defined by Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Local Government Act 2002). Eleven are governed by an elected regional council, while five are governed by territorial authorities (the second tier of local government), who also perform the functions of a regional council and are known as unitary authorities.

Auckland Council unitary authority was formed in 2010, under the Local Government (Tamaki Makarau Reorganisation) Act 2009, replacing the Auckland Regional Council and seven territorial authorities.The seaward boundary of any coastal regional council is the twelve-mile New Zealand territorial limit. Regional councils are defined at meshblock and statistical area 2

Names are provided with and without tohutō/macrons. The name field without macrons is suffixed ‘ascii’.

This dataset is the definitive set of annually released boundries of local boards for Auckland and territorial authorities for the rest of New Zealand for 2022, as defined by the territorial authorities and/or Local Government Commission and maintained by Stats NZ (the custodian), clipped to the coastline.

This clipped version has been created for map creation/cartographic purposes and so does not fully represent the official full extent boundaries. This version contains 21 local boards in the Auckland Council and 66 territorial authority boundaries for the rest New Zealand.

For statistical outputs that use territorial authorities to aggregate and report data Auckland Council is treated as a single geographic entity. This can hide meaningful patterns and trends for a significant portion of the population. A solution was to create a new classification of territorial authorities that includes the local boards for Auckland. The Auckland Council was established in 2010 under the Local Government (Tamaki Makaurau Reorganisation) Act 2009. Seven territorial authorities within the Auckland Region were abolished and replaced by the unitary authority Auckland Council. Local boards fall within the community board classification.

With nearly 70% of the area managed by Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland Council located offshore, results from a desktop habitat study provide further insights into Hauraki Gulf benthic habitats and can assist in prioritising areas for management and future research. DataData for these analyses come from two different sources, NIWA’s own internal archive (NIWA voyage TAN1211) and LINZ’s archive of hydrographic surveys: HS52 – Approaches to Auckland (LINZ) HS53 – Kawau Island (LINZ) HS54 – Tamaki Strait (LINZ) TAN1211 – NIWA multibeam mapping voyage Although all the data analyzed were collected for different purposes, reusing legacy multibeam echosounder (MBES) data shows the strength of the ‘map once – use multiple times’ approach that is now standard practice. To achieve the best outcome for scientific interpretation, NIWA has partially reprocessed the bathymetry and seafloor backscatter information from data provided to LINZ. This has improved the data for the purpose of scientific interpretation.

Our analysis of these data focused on: building derivatives and classifying the bathymetry data, processing the seafloor backscatter data in a qualified way for feature detection and classification, creating scientifically justified interpretations of the seafloor bathymetry and backscatter data. Results from these studies provide a comprehensive overview of seabed morphology and activity across a large region of the Hauraki Gulf, covering a broad range of marine environments.Bathymetry

Bathymetry (shape and depth of seafloor) is illustrated as a digital elevation model (DEM). This is the processed layer that represents thousands of individual depth measurements collated to form a single continuous DEM. The resolution of each DEM depends on a range of factors including data quality, water depth, and echo sounder settings. The higher the resolution (grid cell size) of the DEM, the greater detail we are able to see on the seabed. From bathymetry data, other layers can be produced to assist in understanding key features of interest within the survey region. These layers are often referred to as derivatives and they are described in detail below.

To aid in depth perception, hillshades have been generated and visualised in conjunction with the bathymetry layer to allow for seafloor structures and depth to be seen. Hillshade layers are derivatives of bathymetry and can be generated with a range of illumination and altitude angles to reveal different components of the dataset. In this dataset, a multidirectional Hillshade was produced 3 times vertical exaggeration. Multidirectional Hillshade is generated by producing hillshades from six different directions (rather than just one direction used in a default Hillshade) and enables complex and subtle features to be visualised without obscuring details in otherwise non-illuminated regions.

Slope

The slope derivative is a measure of how steep the seafloor is. Slope is measured from the horizontal (i.e., 0°, or flat) and increases to 90° (i.e., vertical). To calculate a slope derivative, the depth values within each cell are compared to adjacent cells (within a user-defined window) to determine the seafloor gradient across the whole dataset.

Rugosity

Rugosity is a measure of roughness and terrain complexity and is captured as bathymetric variation in three dimensions. Ecological diversity can generally be correlated with the complexity of the physical environment and as such, rugosity can help identify areas where high biodiversity may exist on the seafloor.

Aspect

Aspect is the direction of down-slope dip and can also be thought of as the slope direction. The Aspect derivative produces a layer with cell values that correspond to compass directions presented in degrees from 0/360° (due north) clockwise to 90° (east), 180° (south) and 270° (west). Areas with zero slope will also show no aspect.

Curvature

The curvature derivative describes the shape of slope, and is sometimes referred to as the second derivative of bathymetry. Positive curvature at a location indicates that the surface is upwardly convex, e.g., a mound. Negative curvature indicates that the surface is upwardly concave, e.g., a depression. A neutral value of 0 indicates that the surface is flat. The colour gradient is symmetrical about zero curvature to emphasise curved versus flat seafloor.

Seafloor Backscatter

Seafloor backscatter data is collected at the same time as bathymetry data but measures the energy of the returning acoustic signal. The acoustic energy can be correlated to seafloor substrate and can effectively delineate substrate boundaries that may not be observable in the bathymetry data or derivatives.

Benthic Terrain Model

Based on NIWA’s National Benthic Terrain Classification, the Benthic Terrain Model uses a range of bathymetric derivatives to classify the physical structure of the seafloor into geomorphic zones, e.g., flat plains, ridges, depressions etc. These classifications are in accordance with a national standard and can be used to compare with other regions.HS52 Features

Collected in 2017, the hydrographic survey HS52 – Approaches to Auckland covers an area of 280 km2 between Auckland’s Northshore, Rangitoto and the Whangaparāoa Peninsula. The water depth within the HS52 survey ranges from less than 1 m along the coastline, to approximately 40 m in the northeastern portion, east of Tiritiri Matangi Island. Bathymetry data reveal the variability of the seafloor from the near coastal rocky reefs to the broad flat seabed within the Hauraki Gulf channels.

<!-Nearshore Strata Faulting

Nearshore rocky outcrop showing tilted parallel rock units dipping to the west and offset by faults. These outcrops are likely the offshore extension of Late Oligocene Early Miocene-age deep water mud and sandstones of the Waitemata Group.

Backscatter imagery highlights the boundary between the hard rocky substrate (lighter) compared to the deeper and likely soft sediment substrate (darker)

<!Tessellated Reef

Tessellated rocky reef possibly representing a more textured, highly fractured, unit of the Waitemata Group.

Backscatter imagery highlights the more textured hard rocky reef substrate (lighter) compared to the deeper and smoother soft sediment substrate (darker).

<!-Channels

Channels between the mainland and Hauraki Gulf Islands display a unique seabed backscatter signature compared to adjacent seafloor. Varying backscatter is indicative of a substrate boundary. For example, lighter regions near the coast and within the channel may be indicative of larger sediment grains such as sand, compared to the flat plains with darker backscatter which could be dominated by muddy sediment.

 Linear Sediment Waves

Linear sediment waves on the eastern side of the channel between Whangaparāoa Peninsula and Tiritiri Matangi Island. Sediment wave crests are oriented approximately east-west and may be related to currents between the coast and the Hauraki Gulf Islands.

<!-Rounded Depressions

A cluster of rounded depressions may be indicative of relict or active seabed seepage and potential sites of sensitive ecosystems. Seafloor backscatter reveals the sloping rim of these features may have a harder substrate compared to their base.

<!-Pockmarks

Pockmarks following distinctive linear arrangement, oriented NW-SE. This provides evidence of seafloor fluid seepage, possibly along faults. The pockmarks are well expressed in seafloor backscatter as light circular dots on the darker seabed background.

<!--Rocky Reef at ~30 m

Rocky reef patch located in ~30 m water depth. Possible important habitat for benthos that require hard/rocky substrate for community building. This feature is a distinctive high backscatter region, surrounded by lower backscatter seafloor.

<!-Rugose and Textured Seafloor

Rugose and textured seafloor characterised by higher backscatter return compared to surrounding seafloor, possibly formed via current winnowing and/or may represent important habitats for hard substrate benthos.

<!--Imprint of Pipeline

Bathymetric imprint of pipeline from Mairangi Bay. Expression extends over 400 m in length and 60 m width. Seafloor backscatter highlights pipeline well, showing it as a high-intensity feature (indicative of a harder substrate) relative to surrounding seafloor.

<!- Anchoring Footprint

Anchoring footprint on the seabed. Linear scours caused by anchor deployment and feathering marks caused by gauging of the anchor chain scope whilst vessel swings. Regions with anchoring impacts have a lighter backscatter return compared to the surrounding seabed.

HS53 Features

Surveyed in 2016-17 for hydrographic charting, survey HS53 – Kawau Island covers an area of 184 km2 between Tāwharanui Peninsula, Mahurangi Peninsula and the region surrounding Kawau Island. The water depth within the HS53 – Kawau Bay survey ranges from the coast to ~61 m water depth, with an average depth of 28 m. The seafloor is shallowest within Kawau Bay and deepens eastward into the central Hauraki Gulf/Tīkapa Moana through the North and South Channels. Within Kawau Bay, away from the coast, the seabed morphology is generally gentle and undulating.

R oRocky Platform of Tilted Units

Extensive rocky reef platform to the east of Mahurangi East Peninsula and Big Bay. The rocky outcrop shows tilted parallel rock units offset by faults. These outcrops are likely the offshore extension of Pakiri Formation of Warkworth

Territorial authorities

Territorial Authority Local Board (TALB) is a derived classification. TALB is derived from the definitive version of the annually released local boards for Auckland and territorial authorities for the rest of New Zealand as at 1 January 2025, as defined by the territorial authorities and/or Local Government Commission and maintained by Stats NZ, clipped to the coastline. This clipped version has been created for cartographic purposes and so does not fully represent the official full extent boundaries. This version contains 21 local boards in the Auckland Council and 66 territorial authority boundaries for the rest New Zealand.

Territorial authorities are the second tier of local government in New Zealand, below regional councils. They are defined under schedule 2, part 1 of the Local Government Act 2002 as city councils or district councils. Territorial authorities were established in 1989 when 205 territorial local authorities were replaced by 75 territorial authorities. Territorial boundaries must coincide with meshblock boundaries under schedule 3, clause 17 of the Local Government Act 2002.

Local boards

Local boards share governance with a council’s governing body and each has complementary responsibilities, guaranteed by legislation. Local boards can propose bylaws and they gather community views on local and regional matters. Legislation enacted in 2012 allows for the establishment of local boards in areas of new unitary authorities that are predominantly urban and have a population of more than 400,000. The boundaries of local boards cannot be abolished or changed except through a reorganisation process. If new local boards are created they will be incorporated into this classification.

Local boards are defined at meshblock level. Stats NZ must be consulted if there is a proposed boundary change that does not align with the meshblock pattern. Local boards do not coincide with the statistical area 1 (SA1), statistical area 2 (SA2) geographies, or statistical area 3 (SA3) geographies.

Auckland Council local boards

The Auckland Council was established in November 2010 under the Local Government (Tamaki Makaurau Reorganisation) Act 2009. Seven territorial authorities within the Auckland Region were abolished and replaced by the unitary authority Auckland Council. Local boards fall within the community board classification. Changes were reflected in the 2011 and subsequent community board classifications.

For statistical outputs that use territorial authorities to aggregate and report data Auckland Council is treated as a single geographic entity, whereas previously data was provided for the seven territorial authorities. Presenting data for this single territorial authority hides meaningful patterns and trends for a significant portion of the population. A solution was to create a new classification of territorial authorities that includes the local boards for Auckland.

Numbering

TALB is a flat classification. Each category has a unique five-digit code. The first three digits represent the territorial authority code, ranging from 001 to 076 (with 999 being Area Outside Territorial Authority). The last two digits indicate if the territorial authority is further defined at local board level: 00 indicates the territorial authority is “not further defined”. Auckland retains sequential codes from the community board classification.

The names for the classification are retained from the territorial authority and community board classifications.
