Te Kawa Mataaho – Public Service Commission has encouraged the public sector to embrace Creative Commons licensing and have developed a policy to help departments apply the licensing scheme. This is called New Zealand Government Open Access and Licensing (NZGOAL).

NZGOAL’s purpose

  • enable people to re-use government material with confidence that they are legally entitled to do so – for their own purposes, whether economic, environmental, creative or cultural; and
  • encourage experts and others to contribute to improved policy development and more efficient financial performance by government by being able to access, manipulate and provide feedback on such material.
