Hi all,

It’s now possible to use JOSM to import LINZ data, in addition to our modified version of RapiD (https://osm-nz.github.io/RapiD)
For those interested in using JOSM, you can download chunks of data from this page: https://osm-nz.github.io/josm

Separately, does anyone have suggestions on how to tag ‘Water Races’ – they are unique to Otago/Canterbury.
see https://www.selwyn.govt.nz/services/water/water-race for background info.
You can see the data here: https://koordinates.com/from/data.linz.govt.nz/layer/50369/

My initial thinking was:
waterway=ditch
usage=irrigation
description=water race

Additionally, any ideas for how to tag Redoubts? (there are only 32 in total, see https://koordinates.com/from/data.linz.govt.nz/layer/50322/).
Perhaps:
historic=archaeological_site
site_type=fortification
historic:civilization=colonialism ?
