How many societies in Paraparaumu were struck off?
The register lists 10 societies at Paraparaumu addresses as Removed, of which 10 were still on the 1908 Act and had never reregistered under the 2022 Act.
Why were so many Paraparaumu 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 Paraparaumu and everywhere else in New Zealand.
What kind of Paraparaumu societies were affected?
Every kind, but sports clubs are the largest single group among the 10 removed in Paraparaumu. Clubs, churches, residents associations and cultural societies all appear on the list.
Can a Paraparaumu society still be restored?
Yes. Restoration stays open until 6 April 2032 for any of the 10 societies listed here, provided the application comes from someone who was an officer or member on the day it was removed.
