What happened to Friends of Waipu Golf Club Incorporated

The register records Friends of Waipu Golf Club Incorporated as removed under the 2022 Act, with a reregistration on 19 January 2026, so its removal is not explained by the 5 April 2026 deadline on its own.

What the register shows about Friends of Waipu Golf Club Incorporated

  • Friends of Waipu Golf Club Incorporated was incorporated in 2021 and had operated for 4 years by the time the register closed to it. 542 of the 1,902 removed societies were formed in the 2020s.
  • It is the only society registered at a Waipu address on the removed list.
  • It is one of 15 societies of this kind — golf clubs — removed from the register.
  • The last contact the Registrar held for it was Waipu Golf Club. Only someone who was an officer or member on the day of removal may apply to restore it, so that record is usually the starting point.

Restoring Friends of Waipu Golf Club Incorporated is open until 6 April 2032, roughly 5 years away, and the application must come from someone who was an officer or member on the day it was removed. What a removed society can no longer do and how the Form IS22-RES08 application works are covered in full in the guides.

How Friends of Waipu Golf Club Incorporated gets restored

This society reregistered under the 2022 Act and was removed afterwards, so it takes the officer route rather than the deadline-casualty one.

  1. 1

    Check why it was removed

    This society did reregister under the 2022 Act on 19 January 2026 and was removed afterwards, which is a different situation from missing the transition deadline. Removal after reregistration usually follows unfiled annual returns, so find out what is outstanding before applying.

  2. 2

    Apply as an officer through the register

    NZ$177.78 + GST payable to the Registrar

    An officer can log in with RealMe, select the society, and choose "Request to Restore" from the maintenance menu. Form IS22-RES is the manual route for anyone who cannot apply online.

  3. 3

    Bring the filings up to date

    Financial statements and an annual return are due within six months of each balance date, and the statements must be presented at an AGM before they are filed. Expect to clear whatever is outstanding as part of getting back on.

  4. 4

    Confirm officer and contact details

    Officer changes are notified within 20 working days and contact person changes within 20 working days, so anything that moved on while the society was off the register is filed alongside the application.

  5. 5

    Wait out the objection period

    About 4 weeks

    The restoration is publicly notified and anyone may object for 20 working days before it takes effect.

  6. 6

    Restart banking, insurance and funding

    Banks, insurers and grant funders act on the register, so none of them move until the restoration appears there.

What the constitution has to contain

  • The name of the society and its purposes.
  • How a person becomes a member, and how membership ends.
  • How the committee is elected or appointed, and what disqualifies an officer.
  • A dispute resolution procedure meeting the Act’s minimum standards — the clause 1908-era rules almost never have.
  • A contact person the Registrar can reach, and how that person is appointed.
  • How the constitution itself may be amended.
  • What happens to surplus assets if the society is wound up.

The Companies Office publishes a free Constitution Builder that drafts one for you, and a checklist of everything it must contain. Neither costs anything.
