Our Purpose

RCNZ represents rural contractors providing services to farmers, councils and rural communities from Kaitaia to Southland.

We are a voice for our members – and for the rural communities we serve.

RCNZ monitors central and local government policies, plans and proposals on behalf of our membership.  We maintain close relations – and lobby on behalf of our members – with a wide number of organisations, government departments and other national bodies.

Our Key Activities Include:

• Supporting training
• Gaining approval to import skilled machinery operators
• Monitoring chemical spray requirements
• Input to transport rules for farm machinery

Staffing

The RCNZ operates with a part-time CEO – Roger Parton – based in Wellington and a part-time Communications Advisor – Brendon Burns – based in Marlborough.

Contact Roger for any issues other than communications or media matters.
