How many societies in Havelock North were struck off?
The register lists 5 societies at Havelock North addresses as Removed, of which 4 were still on the 1908 Act and had never reregistered under the 2022 Act.
Why were so many Havelock North 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 Havelock North and everywhere else in New Zealand.
What kind of Havelock North societies were affected?
Every kind, but seniors organisations are the largest single group among the 5 removed in Havelock North. Clubs, churches, residents associations and cultural societies all appear on the list.
Can a Havelock North society still be restored?
Yes. Restoration stays open until 6 April 2032 for any of the 5 societies listed here, provided the application comes from someone who was an officer or member on the day it was removed.
