A new Incorporated Societies Act was passed in 2022 which brings in new rules and requirements for all societies incorporated in New Zealand, including KVH. The new Act is far more prescriptive than the 1908 Act and includes several new mandatory requirements which must be in place before April 2026.

Accordingly, KVH has redrafted our Rules into a Constitution to meet the new Act requirements and is seeking your feedback on these ahead of our AGM on 21 August, when we will seek approval from growers for proposed changes.

A summary of the changes made to draft the new Constitution is available here, and the full document can be viewed here. Please provide any feedback to us at mailto:[email protected]
