BID Programme, AGM & Meetings<\/h3>
<\/span>\n <\/div><\/div>
\n\n

BID PROGRAMME<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Newmarket Business Association (NBA) is a registered incorporated society which is governed by an elected executive committee representing the business association registered members. NBA is also part of Auckland Council\u2019s BID Programme. There are 50 BIDs across Auckland. A BID is a Business Improvement District. Any commercial building within our specified boundary<\/a> ie, commercial area - town centre, industrial area, or a combination \u2013 is designated for a BID Targeted Rate Grant. The Council collects this BID Targeted Rate Grant on our behalf and transfers it back to the business association each quarter. NBA represents, supports and helps over 3,000 business and commercial property owners. We use the BID Targeted Rate Grant for Marketing, Events, Security, Activations and Special Projects. As an Incorporated Society, the NBA falls under the governance of a constitution. Click here<\/a> to read the constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a BID Programme?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local business and property owners have agreed to work together to provide value to the collective business community by delivering a suite of economic activities. Auckland Council supports business associations operating BID Programmes as set out in the Council BID Policy 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This allows us to provide a comprehensive coverage across the precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our CCTV Operator is able to talk in the ear piece of the Mobile Patrol Team meaning they can be given visual support and guidance - and keep a proactive watch on what is happening on our streets.
