GP Legislation - Legislation Direct
Legislation Direct (formerly GP Legislation) is the official printer of statutory law and parliamentary publications in New Zealand. Copies of all acts and regulations can be ordered online. Prior to privatization, Legislation Direct was part of the New Zealand Government Printing Office. It was later purchased by the Rank Group (which later became the Whitcoulls Group) and was awarded the Parliamentary printing and distribution contract.
The Whitcoulls Group was acquired by the Blue Star Group and is now a division of one of New Zealand’s largest commercial printing groups.
As well as printing and distributing legal and parliamentary information, Legislation Direct acts as the distributor for a number of international publishers including the United Nations, World Health Organization, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. Titles from these publishers can be obtained individually or through subscription and standing order.
All legislation, parliamentary publications, and other law related materials are distributed through three key services: Direct from Legislation Direct, Bennetts Government Bookshops, and The Legislation Direct Collection On-line. Legislation and parliamentary publications can be purchased at any Bennetts Government Bookshop around the country. They will also accept mail and phone orders and ship the products directly. Government bookshops are located in major cities including Auckland, Hamilton, and Wellington. Other government law related materials are also available from key booksellers located throughout New Zealand.
The GP Legislation Collection On-line databases are available for searching or browsing. New materials are added daily as new regulations or parliamentary debates progress through the House. The data downloaded to the databases is direct from our typesetting system, thereby ensuring accuracy in transcription.
In addition to browsing and searching the databases, Legislation Direct and the Knowledge Basket, an Auckland based company specializing in text retrieval, offer users the Legislation Information Agent. For a small fee users are notified via e-mail of new additions to the legal databases, or only those additions meeting criteria set in the user profile. This way you will always be informed of important changes to the law. This site can also be searched using Legal Search New Zealand.
