About this website

We want to ensure that our site is widely accessible, so we have designed it to meet the World Wide Web Consortium Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and the New Zealand Government Web Standards and Recommendations. Below are some of the accessibility features of the site.

To use the keyboard Accesskeys:

Note: Some browers do not support the numbers on the Number Pad being used as Accesskeys. Use the numbers at the top of the keyboard.

Text size

You can make the text on this site bigger or smaller to suit you if your browser supports text resizing (i.e. recent versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera).

To resize your fonts:

• In Microsoft Internet Explorer: go to the View menu at the top of your screen, select Text size, then choose to view with larger or smaller type.
• In Firefox: press CTL + to make text bigger, and CTL - to make text smaller.
• In other browsers: consult the browser Help for details on how to resize the text.

Print formatting

We use print stylesheets so that when you print, only the content on the page is printed and not the site navigation or banner. The text and layout of the printed content have also been optimised for readability.

PDF documents

Long documents are sometimes best printed using the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format which is available on the title page of most key documents. This symbol indicates that a document is available to download in PDF format. To view and print PDF files you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is free to download.

Any problems

If you have problems accessing any of the information on this website, please email us at webmaster@tpk.govt.nz or contact us through our Head Office contact details. We will do our best to get you the information you need in a format that is useful for you.
