New Zealand's list is at:
http://www.nzpost.co.nz/Cultures/en-NZ/Personal/AddressingAndPostcodes/Postcodes/PostcodeDirectory.htm
and it recently had a major revision.
Codes aren't strictly geographical as they are used for mail delivery,
so the destination they point to isn't a "place" but a mail bag in a
sorting centre or a wall of boxes in a suburban shopping mall. Such
things as rationalised mail contractors or newly built post offices
require changes so with a population of only 4 million NZ has over a
dozen every year.
I'd hate to think how many changes there are daily around the world!
