Uptown Business Association

About

The mission of the Association is to preserve and enhance Uptown as a vibrant, innovative and attractive urban place. We support the success of existing and future businesses.

The Association is a partner with Auckland Council in its city-wide Business Improvement Programme (BID Programme) and derives its income from a separate rate collected by council from business and property owners within its precinct boundary. There are around 700 businesses operating in Uptown.  It is governed by an executive committee, representing registered members, comprising of Uptown Business leaders and local board representatives.
As an incorporated society, a constitution prescribes its rules of operation.

On behalf of it's members, the Uptown Business Association:
  1. Promotes the precinct identity and activity through marketing activity.

  2. Encourages business collaboration and cross-promotion with networking activity.

  3. Advocates the interests of Uptown businesses to local bodies over major development works in the area.

  4. Delivers enhanced security services to protect businesses and monitor/report damage to public property.

  5. Provides a catalyst to improve the area’s “sense of place”.

  6. Provides a link between businesses and the resident community.

The Uptown executive committee meet monthly. Contact team@uptown.co.nz for more information or suggestions, comments or questions.
