To create a commercial centre that is member driven, providing services in the areas of advocacy, crime prevention, marketing, physical enhancement and economic development. The Business association is here for the businesses. We aim to be the connection to the City Council and be available as your voice on local issues that affect the area. We are here to communicate information news and issues to you and from you. We aim to support and facilitate a step change in the number of visitors coming to this area and the income generated within the business association.

‘To become an exciting and vibrant lifestyle and business centre. A centre that people visit as a destination of choice, at all levels of service provision’.
We are achieving this by increasing awareness of what’s available in the area through website and public marketing opportunities. We are also taking advantage of the opportunities ‘Manukau Now’ has to offer e.g. New academic institutions setting up on our doorstep as well as the changing and improving road and rail infrastructure giving better access in and out of the area. With the pending amalgamation of the 7 councils into ‘Greater Auckland’, now is a great time to define who we are and what we have to offer.
