The site looks different – general site changes

The site’s design was refreshed and other functionalities added or updated in March 2023. The site structure has changed so if you had pages bookmarked or added to your favourites, you'll need to update those links. Use the site search (at top right) to help relocate those pages. If you've linked to property page within the List Online database, you can also use the List Online search. Some pages may have been removed completely because they have become too dated.

Some sections have moved around and been grouped under different headings in response to user feedback and where they'd logically try to find things. For example, you'll find the New Zealand Heritage List and our properties under “Places”.
