How many societies in Tauranga were struck off?
The register lists 36 societies at Tauranga addresses as Removed, of which 32 were still on the 1908 Act and had never reregistered under the 2022 Act.
Why were so many Tauranga 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 Tauranga and everywhere else in New Zealand.
What kind of Tauranga societies were affected?
Every kind, but boating clubs are the largest single group among the 36 removed in Tauranga. Clubs, churches, residents associations and cultural societies all appear on the list.
Can a Tauranga society still be restored?
Yes. Restoration stays open until 6 April 2032 for any of the 36 societies listed here, provided the application comes from someone who was an officer or member on the day it was removed.
