my UK passport has now ran out & im situated in Australia.
Just wondering how i go about applying for a new one & how much.
Flying to NZ in June so how long will it take?

Contact the nearest UK High Comm.

You can contact your nearest Consulate first to ask. They might not take passport applications, but would most likely have info & forms to fill out.

Then you might have to send app & money order to either Canberra or Sydney.

www.yellowpages.com.au or www.whitepages.com.au to find out contact details.

I would say, it could take a while, and won't be cheap.

UK citizens not going to work in NZ will not need a visa anyway. You can stay there 6 months, visa free so long as you don't work. An aside if I may be so bold.

Bum steer at #2 Daycat. At the top of the page you have linked to it says this <blockquote>Quote
<hr>Please note: All enquiries from within Australia about UK passports and visas/entry clearances should be directed to the Consular Section, Canberra. For general information about the UK please contact the High Commission in Canberra.<hr></blockquote> OP, this is who you need to contact. Note that they'll rip you off $1.15 per minute for the privilege of phoning them.
