Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) says it is planning an upgrade to Landonline later in 2017.

LINZ says the upgrade is an important step in making sure the Landonline system remains up to date and reliable.

"The upgrade will not affect the way you use the system, but updates a part of the infrastructure that supports Landonline," it says.

LINZ is currently piloting the upgrade with a small number of customers, and says it will develop plans for rolling it out to all other customers later this year. LINZ will provide further updates closer to this time.
