The key points for clubs to note:

• As of September 2024
  • Clubs will be able to use this Hub to learn about and get more information on the changes.
  • Clubs will be able to read and review the DRAFT Club Constitution template and guidance notes.
• From December 2024
  •  Clubs will be able to access and download the final Club Constitution Template and guidance notes.

Before re-registering, clubs will need to wait for their relevant Local Tennis Partner or Regional Tennis Organisation to hold their SGM/AGM to ratify the new constitution. This will then trigger the ability for your club to proceed. 

•  Before April 2026
  • Clubs will need to have completed their own AGM/SGM process to vote in their new constitution before re-registering with the Incorporated Societies registry.

Once the Tennis New Zealand constitution has been ratified, Local Tennis Partners will need to:

• Set a date for an SGM (before March 2025) to have their member clubs vote the new constitution into being.
• Support clubs in their area with their own process and any needs the clubs have.
• Re-register with the Incorporated Societies registry before April 2026.

Once the Tennis New Zealand constitution has been ratified, Regional Tennis Organisations will need to:

• Set a date for an SGM (before March 2025) to have their member clubs vote the new constitution into being.
• Support clubs in their area with their own process and any needs the clubs have.
• Re-register with the Incorporated Societies registry before April 2026.
