NZ Legislation Reports is a free, independent website dedicated to keeping New Zealanders informed about what’s happening in central and local government. Founded by Cole Isles, the platform serves as a comprehensive collection of reports covering legislation from Parliament through to councils across the country.
The website brings together clear, concise reporting on debates, bills, committee work, and key votes in the New Zealand Parliament, alongside detailed coverage of local government decisions and council developments. Its purpose is to make legislation and public policy accessible to everyone - without paywalls, jargon, or political spin.
As NZ Legislation Reports continues to expand, its goal is to provide coverage of every council in New Zealand, ensuring communities nationwide can stay informed about the decisions that directly affect their daily lives.
Free to read. Open to all. Focused on what matters.
It is free to access all past and present reports on the website and to have the reports that matter most to you delivered straight to your inbox.
