The FAQ states: "It is widely recognised that re-use of this material by individuals and organisations may have significant creative and economic benefit for New Zealand."

NZGOAL establishes a standardised approach for State Services agencies to apply when releasing their material for re-use. It:

provides a series of open licensing and open access principles for copyright works and non-copyright material;
promotes the release of copyright works for re-use using the most open Creative Commons licence, and non-copyright material for re-use using 'no known rights' statements; and
guides agencies through the questions they need to consider before releasing material for re-use.
