Kindred Bodies
NZDA is associated with a number of other bodies, in order to achieve its aims. This may be either through joining forces with them to form coalitions, or through a working relationship. This section of our web contains a description of our association with these groups and, where possible, contains links to them.
New Zealand Council of Licensed Firearms Owners (COLFO)
COLFO represents the collective interests of its members through the preservation of the rights and privileges of licensed firearms users and collectors, promotion of responsible gun ownership and acts as a central reference point for Government, Police, and the Media.
New Zealand Mountain Safety Council
The NZ Mountain Safety Council oversees a network of volunteer instructors skilled in all aspects of safety in the outdoors. MSC provides a number of specialist courses in fields such as firearm safety, bushcraft, alpine safety, abseiling, avalanche safety, river safety and outdoor first aid.
NZDA enjoys a strategic relationship with MSC through the delivery of courses for our Hunter National Training Scheme (HUNTS).
Council of Outdoor Recreation Associations of New Zealand (CORANZ)
The Council was formed to promote the common interests of outdoor recreation participants at the national level. This was because of concern among many outdoor users that, although the outdoors and recreation are very important components of the New Zealand psyche, this has not been reflected by political and official decision making, or by national sports/recreation administrators.
The Council advocates for the common interests of the million or more New Zealanders who fish, shoot, tramp, ski, canoe, climb, walk, mountain bike, botanise, photograph and relax in New Zealand’s great outdoors.
