Why Join?

We champion New Zealand's largest industry

Property Council was founded nearly 50 years ago to champion and foster growth in the property industry.

Originally founded in 1976 as the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), the organisation helped define the emerging industry, providing a clear identity, and purpose, and raising our collective political influence. 

Property Council as we now know it came into being in 1999, offering representation to a wider group of property owners, developers, investors, managers and associated professions and a unified collective voice for the industry.

The last few years have seen Property Council transform, gaining huge influence with both central and local government, restructuring and repositioning itself as the ‘go-to’ membership organisation for the New Zealand property sector.

We motivate, educate and influence through:

  1. Property-specific training and events 
  2. Industry-leading research and insights
  3. Next-level networking, and 
  4. Advocacy that sees us partner with central and local government to ensure rules and legislation work in practice, not just in theory.
Who are our members?

Our membership of property owners, developers and professionals shape the cities and spaces where New Zealanders live, work, and play.

They invest in Property Council because they share our belief that a thriving property industry creates jobs, opportunities for growth and shapes cities that are inclusive, future-proofed, and functional.
