The NZ Tracks data identifies walking and biking tracks across New Zealand and
has been developed through a collaboration between the Local Government
Geospatial Alliance (LGGA), LINZ, Department of Conservation and the Walking
Access commission.
The dataset is currently a work in progress. The data has been made available
to enable users to access the data supplied to date in its relatively raw form,
and to identify the gaps in data provision so that these can be addressed.
The ultimate aim is to provide a national network of walking and biking tracks,
including track grade, conditions of use and supplementary information.
For more information about the Local Government Geospatial Alliance project
which initiated the creation of this dataset please refer to

Please be aware of the following:
-
LINZ has not undertaken any data quality assurance on the data geometry or
attribution.
-
The existence of track does not necessarily indicate public right of access.
-
Closed tracks are defined as being no longer maintained or passable and should
not be used by recreationalists.
-
The Department of Conservation or other authorities should be contacted for
the latest information on tracks and huts.
