RAPID numbers

What is RAPID numbering?

RAPID stands for Rural Address Property IDentification. It gives every rural residential property a road number, just like urban streets have. It can be hard to explain exactly where you live on long rural roads. RAPID is necessary for emergency services such as police, fire, ambulance, civil defence and service providers such as NZ Post, Telecom, couriers and power authorities.  Most of the rural areas in NZ are now RAPID numbered and the system has been very successful in assisting in the fast location of rural properties.
