100% of Chip Seal (Surface Dressing) binders used for over 20 years in the UK (Similar climate to New Zealand ) are bitumen emulsions. Mostly polymer modified emulsion binders. Having had the experience of working with both cutbacks and emulsions, I would strongly recommend the use of emulsions over cutbacks.
