You won't find details on planespotter until about a month before delivery.
This is what I'm aware of, someone else may have more details.
ZK-MVF c/n 1185 -- delivery soon as c/n 1182 now delivered. (source ATDB)
ZK-MVG -- delivery first half of 2015 (source Air NZ Analyst Presentations)
ZK-MVH -- delivery second half 2015 (source Air NZ Analyst Presentations)
ZK-MVI -- delivery January 2016 (source 2014 Air NZ Annual Report)
Plus three options for delivery before the end of 2016. (source is the initial order Press Release)

Most of the 9 ATR72-600's ordered replace Q300's which replace 1900D's.
The 11 ATR72-500's remain but get a cabin upgrade. The 23 Q300's remain. The 18 1900D's reduce to 12 over the next year. ZK-EAL and ZK-EAA have already left and there will be further reductions. Air NZ has said GIS-WLG is expected to be Q300 in about 18 months, but with reduced frequency.

All of the 72-500 that I've been on recently have already had the cabin re-fit, which is just new seats to match the 72-600. The new seats are pretty good & even recline, but the general cabin also needs an refresh e.g wall panels and bulkheads.
Really wish they would install these seats on the Q300s as-well, as there seats are beyond horrible. Although I can see NZ adding an extra 20-25 ATR's (mix of 42/72-600s) to the fleet within the next 5 years see the Q300 leave.
