DINZ Office Move

5/6/2004

The Meat Industry Association Inc, Meat & Wool New Zealand and Deer Industry New Zealand today confirmed they will be moving in together into new premises in Wellington.

All three organisations will maintain full independence, but the move will see them share facilities and resources in some areas.

The organisations have been in discussions about options for co-location for some time, and the move is driven by recognised opportunities to work more closely together and opportunities for improved efficiency, effectiveness and cost sharing.  It is anticipated that the increased cooperation will be well supported by farmers, meat processors and exporters, many of whom are common stakeholders of the organisations.

From 17 May, the three organisations will be located on levels 12 and 13 in the PriceWaterhouseCoopers Tower, 113-119 The Terrace, Wellington.   From this dateDeer Industry New Zealand's new contact details will be:

Level 13, PriceWaterhouseCoopers Tower, 113-119 The Terrace, Wellington

PO Box 10702, Wellington (unchanged)

Phone (04) 473 4500
