What is Landonline and how can I stay updated through Landwrap?

Updated

Landonline is LINZ's land registration and survey system, and Landwrap is the monthly publication that carries its updates. If you work with land titles or cadastral survey data in New Zealand, Landwrap is the practical way to keep track of changes to Landonline — including password resets, terms and conditions, and PDF uploads. You can subscribe to Landwrap through the LINZ website.

What Landonline is

Landonline sits under LINZ's products and services, in the land registration area. It is the system behind land registration and survey work, which is why its updates matter to anyone dealing with titles, survey plans, or the related workflows.

LINZ describes its wider role as delivering "a trusted land, geospatial and property system that drives innovation, stability and growth for New Zealand." Landonline is part of that system.

What Landwrap covers

Landwrap is LINZ's update publication for Landonline users. The October 2026 issue is a useful example of its scope. It covered:

  • How to reset your Landonline password
  • Updates to the Landonline terms and conditions
  • An update on PDF uploads

That mix — account access, rules you agree to, and file handling — shows Landwrap is aimed at people who actually use Landonline day to day, not just at general readers.

How to stay updated

  1. Go to the Landwrap subscription page on the LINZ website (under products and services, in the Landonline section).
  2. Subscribe to Landwrap so each issue reaches you directly.
  3. Check the LINZ news section as well. Landwrap items also appear there — the October 2026 issue was published on 1 October 2026 under the topics "Land registration" and "Landonline Survey."

Subscribing is the reliable route. Relying on news listings alone means you may see an item later than subscribers do, and you would need to check back regularly.

What else LINZ publishes

LINZ's news covers more than Landonline. Recent items include:

Item Date Topic
New modelling on lake weed movement in Lake Rotorua 7 October 2026 Crown property
Drones used to find wilding pines around Tekapo River 6 October 2026 Crown property
Surplus Crown-owned Land schedule 2 October 2026 Crown property
Landwrap 1 October 2026 Land registration, Landonline Survey

If your interest is land registration and survey, Landwrap is the relevant one. The Crown property items are a separate stream.

The short version

Landonline is LINZ's land registration and survey system. Landwrap is where its changes are announced — passwords, terms and conditions, PDF uploads, and similar. Subscribe to Landwrap on the LINZ site, and treat the news section as a backup rather than your main source.
