I don't know if there's a public list, but there's an internal list a lot of us here have access to. If you're just interested in a few I'm sure we can find it out for you.

Seeing as NZPO/Telecom/Spark (whoever it was at the time probably Telecom) went to great lengths to de-identify all the Telephone exchanges I'd say, no there isn't any public list. I you recall all telephone exchanges had signs on the building saying it was a telephone exchange. Not any more.

This list is on a Chorus internal tool - like @DarkShadow says a few of us here have access to it (myself included).

You can access a public list at https://gis.geek.nz but if you want to know more specific details then post here and I am sure somebody can find it for you.

Look for an oldish looking building that has no signs on it, with a cell tower out back, and a few Chorus trucks up front.

Not all have cell towers, in fact none of the ones I worked in have cell towers nor were they all old looking buildings.

They were all de-identified for security reasons.

Here's a few of them:

and about half or more of those are now just cabinets, that are housed in the old mechanical exchange or coax repeater huts from the 1950s to the 80s so you cant tell from looking at the outside what is in them :-)

That one looks like typical dour old government architecture from the 1960's.

I think it would be fun if other people can post some street view links of these old exchange buildings.

Spot the Exchange

and yes there is an exchange in the shot - Its a modern one

@michaelmurfy, how is that site gis.geek.nz meant to work? If I click on any of the symbols on that map, it comes up with a big long list of errors starting with "errors during Soy compilation template contents:13" What does all that mean?

I'm curious as to why the OP would like to know.

@michaelmurfy / @quickymart gis.geek.nz is my site. Just looking at updating the Chorus layers on the new interface and it would be nice to be able to link people back to the exchange the cabinets are plumbed back too.

It's a nice to have, not a need.

If someone wants to send me a dump from an internal tool, that'd be awesome :)
