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.Â
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:
- Property-specific training and eventsÂ
- Industry-leading research and insights
- Next-level networking, andÂ
- 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 is broad and includes some of the largest commercial and residential property owners, developers, investors and associated professionals in New Zealand.
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.

Membership Fees
2025/26 Membership Fee Update
After careful consideration, the Property Council National Board has limited the FY26 membership fee increase to just 3%. For most members, this translates to a modest adjustment of $20–$300 annually.
We understand that any increase needs careful consideration, and we want to assure you that this decision reflects our commitment to balancing affordability for members with the rising costs of running the organisation. While we will be adjusting our operations to fit this reduced budget, your continued support is crucial.
By participating in our events, training sessions, and other initiatives, you help sustain the high-quality member services you rely on. Together, we can ensure our community thrives and remains a strong advocate for our shared interests.
Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.
