Nominations Now Open – Help Lead the Voice of Retirement Village Residents

The Retirement Villages’ Residents’ Council is calling for nominations to join its governing body. The Council is an independent voice representing the collective interests of retirement village residents across New Zealand. It provides a platform where residents’ concerns are heard, ideas are shared, and informed decisions are made.

Working closely with stakeholders – including residents, the Retirement Villages Association and Government – the Council offers guidance on policy matters affecting the sector. 

We are seeking residents who are interested in policy, can reflect their fellow residents’ views impartially, and have mana in their village community. Whether you are on a residents’ committee or simply want to contribute your perspective, your voice matters.

Council members meet up to once a month, with travel and accommodation costs covered. There is no cost to you or your village – just your time and commitment. Your costs of attending meetings are paid.

Nominations must be made by a residents’ committee or by at least 2 residents. If you would like to be part of shaping the future for retirement village residents, complete the nomination form here and send it to info@residentscouncil.org.nz by 5pm, Friday 19 September 2025.
