OPEN DATA: Spring Series

Stats NZ, through the Open Data Programme, is leading the work to accelerate the release and reuse of open government data so that New Zealand is maximising the value of data that government holds on behalf of New Zealanders. Open data supports innovation, can lead to positive social and cultural outcomes, and can increase transparency and democratic participation.
