Business East Tamaki's funding
Business East Tamaki was founded in 1994 and operated for 15 years as a voluntary subscription based organisation. In 2009, business and property owners in the Business East Tamaki area voted to invest in improvements to enhance the local business environment and economic growth of the area by adopting the Business Improvement District (BID) programme, funded by a targeted rate collected by Auckland Council.
Business East Tamaki now represents and supports over 2000 business and commercial property owners, offering a collective voice and strong advocacy for the Business East Tamaki community.
