New Zealand adopted its nuclear-free policy in 1984, officially declaring itself a nuclear-free zone. The policy was solidified with the passing of the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament, and Arms Control Act in 1987. This legislation prohibits nuclear weapons and nuclear-powered vessels from entering New Zealand's waters, reflecting the country's commitment to disarmament and peace.

See the following taken from wikipedia 'Nuclear free Zone' The meaning is what the local group decides, but it would certainly encompass being free of nuclear weapons. If a local authority which included a military nuclear weapons facility decided to ban it, it would introduce some farcical scenes, but this would probably not happen. Presumably the local group would not go so far as to ban medical use of radioisotopes. ''A nuclear-free zone is an area where nuclear weapons (see Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone) and/or nuclear power is banned. The specific ramifications of these depend on the locale in question. Many local authorities worldwide have declared themselves "nuclear-free". However, this label is largely symbolic, since most local authorities would be powerless to stop the construction of a nuclear plant if one was planned for the area. In the case of New Zealand its status as a nuclear-free zone is not symbolic but enshrined in the nation's legislation. New Zealand was the first Western-allied nation to legislate towards a nuclear free zone, effectively renouncing the nuclear deterrent.''
