Also known as LGGA. We are the Geospatial Special Interest Group was set up under the Te Uru Kahika Regional and Unitary Councils’ structure. This will mean some changes for the LGGA.

LGGA aims to bring together local government to enable geospatial collaboration, capability, and communication.

NZ GIS in Conservation
New Zealand GIS In Conservation (NZGiC) is a registered not-for-profit charitable organisation set up in 2012 to foster and support the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) by volunteer conservation groups and iwi working in conservation throughout New Zealand.
NZGiC works with not-for-profit groups who have, or plan to, set up volunteer conservation programs and projects that would benefit from the use of GIS to help collect, record, visualise (map) and share data with their volunteers and stakeholders. Many of these groups will be registered with Charities Services because, like NZGiC, they depend primarily on donations from grants agencies and volunteers to help run them.
