The naming of roads and allocation of street addresses is the responsibility of TLA’s. The area administered by each authority varies and may change from time to time. There are currently 75 TLA’s with valid values found in the City and Districts Table The returned list of street names will contain additional information on the address, such as the District or City that the street is in. Click on the street or address line that matches what you are searching for to see it on a street map. Cannot find the correct address or no matches found When the system cannot find the street name that you are looking for then you may try one or more if the following: Try making it a more general search and not entering in the Type or district. Try a different spelling of the Street Name. The system does not allow phonetic spelling or homonyms presently. There are plans to introduce this particularly for Maori street or place names with unfamiliar spellings. Try entering the name in full or abbreviations such as:    Saint for St Peters    Mount for Mt Cook    McDonald instead of MacDonald Type in only the first few characters of the street name. The system will find all names containing the characters entered at the beginning. If you know the area where the road is then use the drill down method starting from a high level and progressively identify the area that you are looking for. Identify an organization on the same street or road and see where they are. You may use Organisation Search for this. Look in the Yellow Pages for the organization name and use the street name from there. Look in the telephone White Pages for a person on the same street and use the street address in the telephone directory.
