Abstract Kinematic modelling utilising the method of Haines & Holt extended to the case of cubic Bessel interpolation on curvilinear grids, allows analysis of present‐day horizontal motions occurring in the Hikurangi margin, North Island, New Zealand. The velocity field solutions are derived from first order geological data; that is, rates and orientation of extension in the Taupo Volcanic Zone and rates and orientation of motion on the North Island Dextral Fault Belt, against the background of the pattern of uplift and subsidence in the margin. A basic (preferred) velocity field is presented, with four other solutions with different input data, to explain what controls features in the main solution. Every one of the five solutions is the best fitting solution for the input data in each case. All velocity fields are shown relative to the western boundary of the model, which is considered fixed, as part of the assumed non‐deforming Australian plate. The velocity field in the main solution includes a strong...
