Property Council New Zealand has partnered with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) to ensure the commercial property sector is represented in New Zealand and across the world via the RICS Global Commercial Property Monitor.

Property Council is making sure that the voice of our membership influences a message being sent to all key decision-makers in Wellington on an issue critically important to our sector – planning system reform.

There’s strength in numbers and we’ve joined with EMA, Infrastructure New Zealand and and the Environmental Defence Society to call for a cohesive strategy to drive reform of New Zealand’s resource management and planning systems. And we’re starting to gain some momentum.

As you know we work hard to ensure the voice of our members is heard across all the moving parts that influence our sector. Research is a key input to decision-making and we think our members have an important perspective to offer to academia.

For nearly 15 years, Property Council has held a seat on Auckland Council’s City Centre Advisory Board (ACCAB), one of the largest influencers and shapers of Auckland CBD’s rejuvenation and future development.
