About the Federation of Ratepayer Associations of New Zealand (Association Incorporated)
Following a well-attended and enthusiastic national conference held in Nelson in November 2018, the interim steering committee was formed and in March 2019 we started applying to become an Incorporated Society.
Our aims are set out in Our Constitution - but broadly , we are a non-partisan group formed with the aim of creating a resource for Ratepayer and Residents' Associations around New Zealand.
As seems to be the case with so many civics organisations around New Zealand , for whatever reasons, the business of life and personal imperatives, - the enthusiasm with which leads to their formation eventually gives way to apathy, neglect, decay and eventual demise.
So this, despite the imminent threat of huge rates rises being proposed in 2024, is where The Federation of Ratepayer Associations currently finds itself.
