Mō mātou | About Us

At Toitū te Whenua, our purpose is to understand, develop and care for our whenua, moana and arawai here in Aotearoa.

We work to ensure New Zealanders have accurate information about where people and places are, that people have confidence in their property rights and that Crown property is well managed for future generations.

From helping people navigate on land or at sea, delivering our Te Tiriti o Waitangi responsibilities, maintaining and improving biodiversity and biosecurity, or supporting the response to natural disasters here and across the Pacific, our work and location information helps people make better decisions and create economic, social, environmental and cultural value for New Zealand.

With around 800 FTE across the motu, we have a committed, engaged and diverse team and are known as a great place to develop your career.

Diversity and Inclusion is a key focus for us.

We want to build teams that reflect the communities we serve and for all our people to feel welcome and supported.
