1 incorporated society registered at a Akaroa address was removed from the New Zealand register. 1 of them never reregistered under the Incorporated Societies Act 2022.
How many societies in Akaroa were struck off?
The register lists 1 societies at Akaroa addresses as Removed, of which 1 were still on the 1908 Act and had never reregistered under the 2022 Act.
Why were so many Akaroa societies removed at once?
They were not removed individually. The Incorporated Societies Act 2022 gave every existing society until 5 April 2026 to reregister, and everything that had not done so came off the register together the next day — in Akaroa and everywhere else in New Zealand.
Can a Akaroa society still be restored?
Yes. Restoration stays open until 6 April 2032 for any of the 1 societies listed here, provided the application comes from someone who was an officer or member on the day it was removed.
