How many societies in Dunedin were struck off?
The register lists 39 societies at Dunedin addresses as Removed, of which 31 were still on the 1908 Act and had never reregistered under the 2022 Act.
Why were so many Dunedin 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 Dunedin and everywhere else in New Zealand.
What kind of Dunedin societies were affected?
Every kind, but cultural or friendship societys are the largest single group among the 39 removed in Dunedin. Clubs, churches, residents associations and cultural societies all appear on the list.
Can a Dunedin society still be restored?
Yes. Restoration stays open until 6 April 2032 for any of the 39 societies listed here, provided the application comes from someone who was an officer or member on the day it was removed.
