Maps & GIS Data

Aerial photo, water and drainage map

Wellington City Council can supply scaled maps or GIS (Geographic Information Systems) data to the public.

Scaled Maps

Scaled maps up to and including A3 size can be created and customised to meet your requirements, while you wait, at the City Service Centre.

Common map layers include:

• aerial photos
• contours
• addresses
• services (water, sewer, stormwater)

Contact the GIS Operations team for maps larger than A3, which can take up to two weeks to process.

Maps are supplied as either:
