SD - They're doing NDB approaches because it's NDB's that the aussies have decomissioned first. So, since NZ prides itself on being third world, they've bought the NDB's (I was told at scrap value) off the aussies and are throwing more of those up where they see fit. While Oz gets underway with replacing with GPS app it is thought NZ will get there too but I was told NZ CAA will make sure NZ lags Oz by about 40-50 years. Can't rush into these things.
