We are aware that some groups are intending on travelling by motor coach or minibus – a great idea.

The following are entitled to select the most convenient mode of travel, depending upon their location, (i.e. distance from Rotorua).

Otherwise, it will be assumed that Representatives and official Observers will make their own travel arrangements by road.
Official observers for the Institute’s annual meeting
Branches that are entitled to only one representative at the Institute’s annual meeting are also entitled to have one official observer.
Air Travel and mileage costs for such observers will be invoiced back to the Branch, Komiti Pasifika or Aronui Tōmua concerned (with exception to Observers from the South Island, where their flights will be paid for by National Office).
Observer travel costs from home to the nearest airport and return will be reimbursed by the represented Komiti Pasifika, Branch or Aronui Tōmua.
