Since 2020, Canterbury Maps has been used by hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders to access, download, and use a wide range of geospatial data from across the region. Help us inform the development of an exciting new version. As we prepare for a major rebuild of the platform, we want to better understand how Canterbury Maps is currently used, which features matter most, and what a future version could look like. A key part of this work is engaging directly with our users—you.
By telling us what works well, what doesn’t, and what you need from your perspective, you’ll help shape a new platform that better meets user needs. This will be supported by the most up-to-date and authoritative datasets from district councils across the region.
To help us do this, we’ve created a short online survey that takes around 5–10 minutes to complete. We welcome feedback from all Canterbury Maps users—whether you’re a keen cartographer, a commercial organisation, or an experienced GIS professional. Your input is vital in helping us develop Canterbury Maps 2.0.
Thanks for your time
