Contextual Layers

What is a contextual layer? 
A contextual layer is any information which is not a project but provides context to the area surrounding it - for example it could be a bus route, haulage routes, notable trees, sites of significance to Māori, planning consents etc. If there's a layer you'd like to see, please contact us.  There is a charge to upload a contextual layer. 

​How do I turn on a contextual layer?

• Click on the layers icon in the sidebar menu. 
• Here you can turn on/off various project and contextual layers. 
• Scroll to the contextual layers section.
• Click on the drop down arrow to expand the menu.
  
• Click on the name of the layer to turn it on or off. 
  
• A grey dot next to the region indicates that there is at least one layer turned on.​

How do I add a contextual layer?
Contextual layers are currently added by the helpdesk and there is a charge to do this.  If there is a geospatial layer you'd like to see in the FWV please contact us.
