The register records Te Karaka Preschool Incorporated as removed under the 2022 Act, so its removal is not explained by the 5 April 2026 deadline on its own.
Restoring Te Karaka Preschool 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.
This society reregistered under the 2022 Act and was removed afterwards, so it takes the officer route rather than the deadline-casualty one.
Check why it was removed
This society did reregister under the 2022 Act 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.
Apply as an officer through the register
NZ$177.78 + GST payable to the RegistrarAn 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.
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.
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.
Wait out the objection period
About 4 weeksThe restoration is publicly notified and anyone may object for 20 working days before it takes effect.
Restart banking, insurance and funding
Banks, insurers and grant funders act on the register, so none of them move until the restoration appears there.
The Companies Office publishes a free Constitution Builder that drafts one for you, and a checklist of everything it must contain. Neither costs anything.
