What is different

Unlike normal membership Cottage Industry membership only lasts for the current membership year. A membership year runs from July 1 through to June 30.

Cottage industry memberships automatically expire after June 30th, this means that you are no longer licenced to use the kiwi-in-a-triangle logo and will have to remove this from all packaging, web, marketing or other material that you may have it displayed unless you re-apply using the cottage industry application form or you upgrade to full membership.

A Cottage Industry member has to reaply each year for membership to ensure they still meet our criteria for this category.

Upgrading to full membership

When a cottage industry member makes the move to full membership, the $75.00 registration fee is waived.

If a cottage industry member upgrades to full membership during their current year, they will not be charged for full membership until July 1st

If a cottage industry member upgrades to full membership after their current year and their membership has expired within a 9 month period they can still upgrade without paying the $75.00 registration fee applicable to all new members by filling in the cottage member upgrade form.
