Correct Canterbury state region for New Zealand administrative area #4999

Correct Canterbury state region for New Zealand administrative area

The current administrative area for the Canterbury region in New Zealand is incorrect and when used can include data points from neighboring regions such as Otago.

Please may a Canterbury state region option be made for administrative areas in New Zealand. This would be very useful for researchers as well as local and central government, e.g., the regional council.

Data comes in with coordinates. We then align those points to an external reference catalogue - namely GADM. https://gadm.org/about.html

But it is possible to contact the GADM team and suggest improvements and report errors. Once they incorporate the suggestions, then we can reprocess the records so that they get assigned to a new administrative area.
