Note 1 : Fee's are GST exclusive and are based on one individual company. Parent companies with multiple brands that have significant market presence, a relative formula can be used to determine a negotiated membership fee.

Note 2: Membership applications under category 11 (NGO's and Research) are only accepted from "Professional Bodies" who's primary focus is on education and professional services. It is against the policies of the New Zealand Green Building Council to accept membership from organisations who have company membership who have advocacy functions as part of their operations. We are open to discussing associate type relationships.
