Head on over to The New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs website (link below). All of the information you need to renew your passport is listed there, along with application forms and fees (in both Australian and New Zealand currencies). There is also information there for those living in other countries who want to renew a New Zealand passport.
The only problem I have found with the renewal is the witness for the application. This person needs to be a New Zealand passport holder, have known you for over a year, not be a relation or living at the same current address as you and must also be a registered professional (e.g. judge, lawyer, optometrist, nurse, etc). I have not found any luck with a solution so far, so the best advice I can give is to ring your local New Zealand Embassy and ask them.
