It would appear to be a Philodendron but do not know which one.

Alocasia sanderiana has white veins in its leaves. More likely Alocasia macrorrhizos.

Alocasia brisbanensis, also known as Elephant's ears or Alocasia macrorrhiza or Alocasia indica, has very fragrant green flowers and is often seen in NZ. I don't think the foliage is fragrant but the flowers can be hard to spot amongst those huge leaves. It can take over in damp areas where no stock graze and as seeds grow easily, it's probably a good idea to dead-head after flowering.
