I have been meaning to do some work on the data, there is an issue where suburbs with the same name in different cities/regions are sometimes given the wrong postcode.

When I get some time I’ll sort out the problem. Check back in a couple of weeks.

Great resource. I have noticed a couple of issues in it though, and was wondering if you are planning to do an update.

Specifically, some suburbs in multiple cities have the wrong city for the postcode. Eg – Glenfield Rd, Hillcrest (line 14167 in the CSV) has postcode 0627, which is correct, but the “matched address” shows as being in Rotorua, which is incorrect. It should be North Shore.

Reason I hit this issue is that I need the city data separate, and in spliting it out saw some suburbs in odd cities.

Have you still got your MSSQL script. I could try fixing it and getting it to work. I’m interested in the Rural codes which arn’t in the CSV. If I get the script working I will return to you for posting on this site. Cheers.

NZ Post shouldn’t be charging for this data in the first place. Sounds like another money making scheme for them. Thanks for the files Noodles!!!

This is excellent, is NZ Post OK with downloading and use of this data?
