Unfortunately, Postcode data is managed by NZ Post, a state-owned enterprise, with a commercial model. The Postcode Network File is $400-$2100/year depending on use and the license restricts reuse.

Air quality data is gathered by regional councils and aggregated by Ministry for the Environment. Some councils, such as ECAN, make realtime air quality data available (see http://data.ecan.govt.nz/Catalogue/Search?Query=&CollectionId=4 ). At Ministry for the Environment I could only find prepared charts and commentary, not raw data (see http://www.mfe.govt.nz/environmental-reporting/air/air-quality-indicator/index.html ). No air data sets were visible at https://data.govt.nz/catalog/?AgencySearch=Ministry+for+the+Environment+%28MfE%29&action_doCustomSearch=Go&agency=true&rpp=25
