How many societies in Napier were struck off?
The register lists 19 societies at Napier addresses as Removed, of which 17 were still on the 1908 Act and had never reregistered under the 2022 Act.
Why were so many Napier 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 Napier and everywhere else in New Zealand.
What kind of Napier societies were affected?
Every kind, but welfare or charitable societys are the largest single group among the 19 removed in Napier. Clubs, churches, residents associations and cultural societies all appear on the list.
Can a Napier society still be restored?
Yes. Restoration stays open until 6 April 2032 for any of the 19 societies listed here, provided the application comes from someone who was an officer or member on the day it was removed.
