Looks like it could be an Orb Web Spider.
It is. The genus is Leucauge of family Tetragnathidae. The next step is to look up which Leucauge species are in New Zealand.
Leucauge dromedaria, this is a Silver Orbweaver. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/368474-Leucauge-dromedaria/browse_photos
I used the World Spider Catalog, it’s an online database of all known spiders. inaturalist.org had the best photos and info to use for a source link.
