In June 2014, LINZ moved the information from the Authoritative Streets and Places database (ASP) into Landonline and the ASP database is no longer maintained.
This table contains place part records for every electoral subdivision of a place, i.e. for every valid combination of territorial authority, general electoral, & maori electoral districts that apply to the place name concerned. Some times additional parts may be created for clarity e.g. if the same combination exists in disconnected areas covered by the same place name.
This table is part of the Authoritative Streets and Places (ASP) Database. For more information about the database including the data model see here.
Notes:
- This table is recreated each time a new set of electoral boundaries takes effect (every 5 years). Prior to its replacement, a copy of the entire database is made and retained off-line to allow a mini Index to Places & Streets to be produced in the event of a by-election (by-elections are conducted on the same boundaries as the previous General election). The archival copy is deleted once the next General election has been held.
