Here’s a query for combing all 3 tables in to one table:

INSERT INTO customer_nz_postcodes
( postcode, suburb, town, rural_d )

select postcode, suburb, area as town, null as rd FROM suburbs
UNION
select postcode, NULL as suburb, town, rd FROM rural
UNION
Select postcode, lobby as suburb, city as twon, null as rd FROM boxes

(tip: Disclaimer: I’m not from NZ, is it reasonable to generalize like this?)

You can look up and download NZ Postcodes (in the new format) with city and very precise latitude and longitude data.

Hi,

Does anybody have a csv file of NZ postcodes to regions that they could send me. Would be greatly appreciated. I tried looking at the link http://www.srmiller.net/nzpostcode/nzpostcode2csv.zip but it doesn’t seem to work anymore

Hi, I needed a list like this for my company, but I am donating to you out of my own pocket, purely from admiration and personal thanks.

I’ve done a bit of playing and

A) converted it into Postgresql sql
B) converted the addrinfo column into a streetMin and streetMax column

if anyone wants it — the current streetMin and streetMax are in Postgres format, but its fairly trivial for me to turn them into CSV or mysql if the desire was there

I would love a NZ postcode csv file with simply the postcode and the region.
If anyone has one, can you please let me know how I get it.
Thanks

Or you can use this to extract the postcode from the NZ Post PDF

To everyone who wants to associate suburbs with region (no matter the accuracy) do the following;

1) Import the V1 version of the postcode database
2) Import the V2 version of the postcode database
3) Add a column to the suburbs table from the v2 database called regionid INT(11)
4) Run the following SQL (note I appended “location_” to the start of all my V2 tables, and renamed the V1 table postcodes_v1):

UPDATE location_suburbs, location_regions, postcodes_v1 SET location_suburbs.regionid = location_regions.regionid WHERE location_suburbs.suburb = postcodes_v1.suburb AND postcodes_v1.region = location_regions.regionid

Hope this helps… all I’m looking for is a nice way to let people who register on a site pick a region and suburb!

Is there a way to determine the region by postcode e.g starting with a particular digit?

By: Sam

This is just what I was hoping NZPost would provide when they introduced the new system. Since then I have been putting off the evil day when I would have to do it myself.
My interest is I’ve set up databases for a number of not-for-profit groups to which I belong, with a button to look up the Postal code and insert it after they have typed in the address of a member.
To use this data in the same way, would I need to pay and to whom and what about NZ Post copyright. I don’t want any suprises down the track. So I’m asking before starting what will still be quite a lot of work

Hey, how current is this postcode list?

By: Jo

Jo — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:02:56 +0000

This is fantastic, and I really appreciate your efforts. The postcodes are one peice of the puzzle for a project I am working on, the other being SNZ mesh blocks. Are you able, or do you know anywhere, where these two have been aligned?
