This year was the biggest ever in terms of Registration, with 37 candidates interviewed; nearly 3 times the number that were interviewed last year - requiring 26 panellists, 3 venues and 4 days of interviews. 

It is of course great to be able to welcome all these new Registered Members, but what is really exciting is the calibre of the work that was presented. The professional awareness of the candidates is very pleasing, while the scale and complexity of projects is truly impressive and a very pleasing reflection of the growing maturity of the profession and its reach and contribution to managing environmental change in this country - Neil Challenger, NZILA Registration Panel Chair
