Membership Fees

NZGBC membership fees are different for each industry category and determined according to the size of your business, i.e. annual turnover or number of staff as indicated in the fee table below. Membership fees shown are annual and exclude GST. The NZGBC membership period covers the financial year 1 July - 30 June. However, fees charged for new members joining within the year are calculated on a pro-rata basis within that financial year period.

Subsidiary companies can become members of NZGBC under the parent company membership. The subsidiary's annual turnover must be included in the parent company’s turnover bracket. Subsidiary companies receive all the same benefits as their parent company. Divisions of companies fall under the parent company membership. For further information regarding subsidiary membership, please contact us.
