                    [0] => Government postal services were provided in New Zealand from 1840 although the Post Office was not established as a Department until 1858. The Post Office performed a wide variety of functions on behalf of the Crown, including the provision of postal, telegraphic, telephone and banking services. In addition the Post Office assisted in the administration of associated functions in other areas of government, for instance, pension payments, motor vehicle registration and radio inspection. As a result of the 1986 State Owned Enterprises Act, from 1987 these services were split between NZ Post Ltd, PostBank Ltd., and Telecom Corporation of NZ Ltd.

The first official Post Office was established in Christchurch on 1 January 1854, replacing a 'temporary Post Office' set up in 1851.  Until 1864, the Christchurch Post Office had been subsidiary to the one at Lyttelton and the Postmaster at Lyttelton acted as Chief Postmaster for Canterbury.

A notice in the "New Zealand Gazette" on 4 July 1863 stated that from the 1st of January 1864, the Chief Post Office of the Province of Canterbury was to be moved from Lyttelton to Christchurch.

In each provincial capital, the Post Office became a Chief Post Office and worked closely with the provincial government. In 1862 the Post Office shifted to a new office, the Market Hall (near the statue of James Cook). This building appears to have been paid for by the provincial government. In 1862, the money order service was added to the work of the Post Office, then the Savings Bank in 1867 and a few years later, the Telegraph Department.

The abolition of the provincial governments in 1876 did not cause any change in the administration of the Post Office and in 1879, the country was reorganised into postal districts which had previously followed the old provincial boundaries. In 1879, the Chief Postmaster's office moved to a new building in Cathedral Square, its home for the next 107 years.

In 1881, the telegraph and postal services were amalgamated. Later under the Post Office Act 1959, the name of the Post and Telegraph Department became The Post Office, and the minister's title became Postmaster-General.

The Chief Postmaster's Office reported to Post Office Head Quarters in Wellington, and he Regional Engineer's Office reported to the Engineer-in-Chief's Office.

From 1 April 1987 the Post Office was split into 3 separate state-owned corporations: NZ Post, Telecom Corporation of NZ and PostBank, with the non-commercial policy and regulatory functions relating to communications being the responsibility of the Ministry of Commerce.

Central government

Government postal services were provided in New Zealand from 1840 although the Post Office was not established as a Department until 1858. The Post Office performed a wide variety of functions on behalf of the Crown, including the provision of postal, telegraphic, telephone and banking services. In addition the Post Office assisted in the administration of associated functions in other areas of government, for instance, pension payments, motor vehicle registration and radio inspection. As a result of the 1986 State Owned Enterprises Act, from 1987 these services were split between NZ Post Ltd, PostBank Ltd., and Telecom Corporation of NZ Ltd.
