How many societies in Upper Hutt were struck off?
The register lists 17 societies at Upper Hutt addresses as Removed, of which 14 were still on the 1908 Act and had never reregistered under the 2022 Act.
Why were so many Upper Hutt 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 Upper Hutt and everywhere else in New Zealand.
What kind of Upper Hutt societies were affected?
Every kind, but animal or breeders clubs are the largest single group among the 17 removed in Upper Hutt. Clubs, churches, residents associations and cultural societies all appear on the list.
Can a Upper Hutt society still be restored?
Yes. Restoration stays open until 6 April 2032 for any of the 17 societies listed here, provided the application comes from someone who was an officer or member on the day it was removed.
