New Members

There are three different types of DQ membership: rates, individual and corporate. For most businesses, membership is free if they are a Commercial Rate Payer or pay commercial rent in Queenstown. For those who do not, there are Subscription options. Outlined below are the benefits and differences between the three types of memberships.

Please note:

Corporate Subscription and Commercial Rate Contributor provide the same levels of member benefits.
A Subscription Member* is an individual, company or partnership trading in the Whakatipu basin who has not paid or contributed to the current commercial rate of QLDC and does not pay rent to a commercial ratepayer but has an office and staff member in the Whakatipu basin.

Please review the Definition of a DQ Member page to ensure you are eligible for membership before completing the registration form:
