Submitting your annual reporting
From July 2025, all annual reports should be filed by completing our annual regulatory report (ARR) form directly through Business Connect, a New Zealand government platform designed to host forms for central and local government. All required documents should be submitted through Business Connect and your completed report will automatically be sent to us.
Where to find your ARR
You can find the ARR form on the Business Connect platform in the below link.
Go to Business Connect(external link)
- You will need to create a RealMe login for the platform before you can complete your ARR
- When you are entering the name of your organisation, it will also ask you for your New Zealand Business Number, which will assist by pre-filling some of your organisational details. Please ensure your organisational details are up to date with NZBN before starting your ARR.
- The Key Performance Measures template, Property Portfolio template and the Board Chair declaration are accessible in the ARR template. You will need to download these documents separately, complete and then upload them and all supporting documentation when you submit your ARR. If you have not provided all the information in the form or attached the additional templates, you will not be able to submit your report.
- If we require further information to determine compliance with the performance standards, this information should be uploaded to your existing ARR.
More information about what you need to provide with your report can be found on the ‘Completing your annual reporting’ page.

If you have any questions about submitting your ARR this year, please contact your relationship manager.
Our expectations for the 2025/2026 reporting round
We expect that all registered community housing providers will make their best efforts to complete the 2025/26 Key Performance Measures template by using the information they have to hand. Where there are gaps in your current data, we expect that you will put in place measures to ensure this information is collected in future, to ensure you can fulfil the performance data requirements for all subsequent years. If you are unable to provide enough Key Performance Measure information in your 2025/26 report, we may require additional information in order to finalise our assessment.
You can find more information about how your information will be protected by reading our privacy statement and Business Connect’s privacy statement.
