Now Stats NZ is opening up its plans for conduct of the 2028 census and beyond for public consultation. In the consultation document, Stats NZ says adopting the new approach means Stats NZ will prioritise using admin data sources to provide the data for the census. When admin data is not available or not high quality, it will collect the data using other means, such as surveying. Stats NZ says it will then focus on the detailed design of the new approach to census "in continued collaboration with key customers, partners and communities". There will also be a second round of public consultation, seeking more detailed feedback, in 2025.
