What happened to Taranaki Racing Club Incorporated

The register records Taranaki Racing Club Incorporated as removed under the 2022 Act, with a reregistration on 15 August 2024, so its removal is not explained by the 5 April 2026 deadline on its own.

What the register shows about Taranaki Racing Club Incorporated

  • Incorporated in 1923, Taranaki Racing Club Incorporated was one of the oldest societies on this list — only 13 of the 1,902 removed societies had been registered longer.
  • It is one of 25 societies registered at New Plymouth addresses that were removed, and the 1st-oldest of them.
  • As a equestrian club it was not alone: 1 other in New Plymouth and 50 nationwide were removed in the same sweep.
  • The society had changed its name at least once: it was registered as Taranaki Jockey Club Inc before becoming Taranaki Racing Club Incorporated. Restoration paperwork must use the name on the register at the date of removal.

Restoring Taranaki Racing Club Incorporated is open until 6 April 2032, roughly 5 years away, and the application must come from someone who was an officer or member on the day it was removed. What a removed society can no longer do and how the Form IS22-RES08 application works are covered in full in the guides.

How Taranaki Racing Club Incorporated gets restored

This society reregistered under the 2022 Act and was removed afterwards, so it takes the officer route rather than the deadline-casualty one.

  1. 1

    Check why it was removed

    This society did reregister under the 2022 Act on 15 August 2024 and was removed afterwards, which is a different situation from missing the transition deadline. Removal after reregistration usually follows unfiled annual returns, so find out what is outstanding before applying.

  2. 2

    Apply as an officer through the register

    NZ$177.78 + GST payable to the Registrar

    An officer can log in with RealMe, select the society, and choose "Request to Restore" from the maintenance menu. Form IS22-RES is the manual route for anyone who cannot apply online.

  3. 3

    Bring the filings up to date

    Financial statements and an annual return are due within six months of each balance date, and the statements must be presented at an AGM before they are filed. Expect to clear whatever is outstanding as part of getting back on.

  4. 4

    Confirm officer and contact details

    Officer changes are notified within 20 working days and contact person changes within 20 working days, so anything that moved on while the society was off the register is filed alongside the application.

  5. 5

    Wait out the objection period

    About 4 weeks

    The restoration is publicly notified and anyone may object for 20 working days before it takes effect.

  6. 6

    Restart banking, insurance and funding

    Banks, insurers and grant funders act on the register, so none of them move until the restoration appears there.

What the constitution has to contain

  • The name of the society and its purposes.
  • How a person becomes a member, and how membership ends.
  • How the committee is elected or appointed, and what disqualifies an officer.
  • A dispute resolution procedure meeting the Act’s minimum standards — the clause 1908-era rules almost never have.
  • A contact person the Registrar can reach, and how that person is appointed.
  • How the constitution itself may be amended.
  • What happens to surplus assets if the society is wound up.

The Companies Office publishes a free Constitution Builder that drafts one for you, and a checklist of everything it must contain. Neither costs anything.

Questions about Taranaki Racing Club Incorporated

Is Taranaki Racing Club Incorporated still registered?

No — society number 214717 of New Plymouth is recorded as Removed under the 2022 Act, having reregistered on 15 August 2024. Its removal is not explained by the 5 April 2026 reregistration deadline alone.

Who can apply to restore Taranaki Racing Club Incorporated?

Only a person who was an officer or a member on the day it came off the register. For a society incorporated in 1923 that usually means tracing the committee as it stood in early 2026. Applications close 6 April 2032.

What happens to the assets of Taranaki Racing Club Incorporated?

Until it is restored it cannot hold a bank account, property or insurance in its own name, including anything registered to its New Plymouth address. Anything it owned can be treated as ownerless and pass to the Crown, and committee members can be personally exposed for obligations taken on in the meantime.
