If you are still in New Zealand when it expires you can go into your nearest NZIS office and apply for an Indefinite Returning Resident Visa (IRRV). The indefinite part means what it means.

Did mine the other week at Queen St branch AKL and it cost $140 and took about half an hour as I'd completed the paperwork before I went (you can download the form off the immigration website)
