[Imports] LINZ data import: Pastoral Lease layer

[Kyle Hensel]

Hi all,

The import of topographic data from Land Infomation New Zealand (LINZ) began in 2009 and is nearing completion, following a long pause.

One of the final layers to be imported is Pastoral Leases. These are huge areas of farmland used for grazing livestock.

Background infomation:

  *   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastoral_lease
  *   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station_(New_Zealand_agriculture)
  *   https://www.linz.govt.nz/crown-property/crown-pastoral-land
  *   https://www.linz.govt.nz/crown-property/crown-pastoral-land/status-and-location-crown-pastoral-land

Following a discussion on the talk-nz mailing list, the proposed tagging is:
landuse=meadow
meadow=pasture
place=farm
name=*
ref:linz:pastoral_lease_id=*

Due to constraints with OSM’s API, if there are more than 2000 nodes in the area, we will split the area into a multipolygon with multiple outer ways.

For more infomation about the general LINZ data import, see https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ
That page also explains the purpose of tags like ref:linz:pastoral_lease_id.

Any feedback or comments would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Kyle
