This includes a direct impact of $3.6 billion and flow-on (indirect and induced) impacts of $2.2 and $2.7 billion respectively. It is important to note that this does not include capital gains from the appreciation of land and property values. In addition, 24,820 employees were directly employed in the property industry, accounting for 9% of total employment in Wellington. That is a significant involvement by our members and others.
The cost of doing business in Wellington remains high, with ever-increasing commercial rates and seismic issues leading to high insurance premiums that inhibit the city’s prosperity.
As a region, we are continuing to effect change through our advocacy, events program, and collaboration with like-minded organisations including, of course, Wellington City Council.
To do that we need your support. Our members are at the very core of what we do every day. Get involved! Also, please tell us what you seek from your membership, what events, topics and speakers you would like to hear.

On 9 June 2025, the Property Council submitted on Waipā District Council’s Local Water Done Well. Why this matters to our members The proposal for Waipā District Council to form a multi-Council Controlled Organisation (CCO) governed by an independent Board of Directors is important for our members as it will allow for a more strategic approach to decision-making and asset management. Our view We support the establishment of a CCO between Waipā District Council and Matamata-Piako, Hauraki, Ōtorohanga, Waitomo, South Waikato and Taupō to enhance governance standards and enable strategic, coordinated decision-making for water infrastructure.

Our view Overall, we oppose the increases to rates and development contribution fees. At a high level, we recommended that Waipā District Council: Reduce the proposed rates increase to better reflect the financial reality of commercial and industrial businesses; Investigate alternative funding and financing mechanisms; Pause its draft development contributions review until the new levy system is in place; and Implement benchmarks

Why this matters to our members The proposal for Hamilton City Council to form a multi-Council Controlled Organisation (CCO) governed by an independent Board of Directors is important for our members as it will allow for a more strategic approach to decision-making and asset management. Our view We support the establishment of a CCO between Hamilton City Council and Waikato Regional Council to allow for improved governance and a more strategic approach to decision-making and asset management. Councils across New Zealand have historically underinvested in infrastructure, resulting in today’s funding and financing challenges. The establishment of a CCO would allow a separate balance sheet
