Auckland's property settings affect every investor. We help shape them.
APIA represents members in formal submissions, consultations and meetings with central government, Auckland Council, and industry bodies — on tenancy law, Healthy Homes, building standards, consenting, rates, and the rules that govern how investors operate.
How APIA advocates
We don’t lobby. We submit, consult, and represent — formally, on the record, and with members’ interests as the only mandate.
Formal submissions
to local and central government on legislation, regulations and consultation papers
Member consultation
before every major submission, so positions reflect the people who pay for the work
Direct engagement
with Auckland Council officers, MPs, ministry officials and industry bodies
Public commentary
in media on the issues affecting Auckland’s residential investment market
Annual transparency
every submission, position and outcome is published for members to review

Members write the brief
Every formal submission begins with member consultation — short surveys, working groups, or open feedback periods. As a member, you have a say in what APIA says on your behalf. That’s not symbolic. It’s the model.
Auckland's property settings affect every investor. We help shape them.
APIA is at the table when councils and government draft the rules. Members make that possible.
