Members' Laureate

Honouring the Legends

Help us honour those who have shaped our cities and communities.

The Property Council New Zealand Members’ Laureate programme honours those individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to both the organisation and wider property industry.

Members from all levels of governance (from National Board to Regional Committees) are invited to nominate a deserving candidate, with the membership awarded once a year at the Property Council New Zealand Rider Levett Bucknall Property Industry Awards. There is no limit as to how many Members’ Laureate are awarded each year, nor is there a mandate to award a member should there be no suitable applications.

Criteria

Candidates should score strongly in the following categories and will be scored out for 10 for each point below.  Candidates will most commonly be self-employed or semi-retired. Honorary membership is valid for individuals only.
