PANZ organisation

Charitable Trust

Public Access New Zealand is a registered charitable trust, based in the province of Otago, in the South Island.

Management is vested in a board of seven trustees from throughout New Zealand, all with strong committments to furthering the interests of outdoor recreationists. One of us is a full-time employee engaged in research and advocacy.

We are funded by subscriptions and donations from Subscribing Supporters throughout New Zealand, and a few overseas. We are completely independent of Government and are non-aligned to any political party.

We are Inland Revenue Department registered so all donations of $5 or more are tax deductible in New Zealand.

Research-based advocacy

• PANZ bases its advocacy on research, clear objectives, and a determination that comes from first-hand knowledge and love of the outdoors. We collaborate with kindred organisations who share our concerns.
  
• PANZ advocates rights of access for all forms of public recreation.
  
• PANZ is tackling issues central to the concerns of recreationists throughout New Zealand.
  
• We publish research monographs and other papers.
