How many societies in Invercargill were struck off?
The register lists 26 societies at Invercargill addresses as Removed, of which 25 were still on the 1908 Act and had never reregistered under the 2022 Act.
Why were so many Invercargill 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 Invercargill and everywhere else in New Zealand.
What kind of Invercargill societies were affected?
Every kind, but heritage or historical societys are the largest single group among the 26 removed in Invercargill. Clubs, churches, residents associations and cultural societies all appear on the list.
Can a Invercargill society still be restored?
Yes. Restoration stays open until 6 April 2032 for any of the 26 societies listed here, provided the application comes from someone who was an officer or member on the day it was removed.
