Metadata Project

On behalf of Treasury, MBIE and LINZ, staff at Land Information NZ have asked Water New Zealand to thank industry participants for their on-going and considerable contributions to the development of the draft metadata standards for Three Waters. With your help, the first phase of work to draft both the metadata standards and a business case providing ministers with options for implementing the standards, has now been completed.

Significant work is going on 'behind the scenes' to secure additional funding. Should LINZ be successful in securing this funding, it will be used to finalise and publically release the metadata standards by the end of June 2017 (at the latest). The funds will also be used for continued development of the implementation options contained within the business case, so that ministerial direction can be gained and the preferred implementation option/s can commence from July 2017.

It is intended that once this money is allocated that the metadata standards will be progressively rolled out, starting with pilot trials to ensure the data standards are fit for purpose. Wellington Water has agreed to run one of the pilot trials. This approach is supported by Water New Zealand.
