Business Improvement Districts (BID) programmes operate in over 50 areas within Auckland where local business and property owners have agreed to work together. BIDs in the Auckland region represent over 30,000 businesses and a Capital Value in excess of $72 billion (2022).
Auckland Council (via their BID Policy 2022) supports Business Associations operating BID programmes by collecting the targeted rates and providing these funds, in their entirety, as a BID targeted rate grant to associations like the MBBA. Auckland Council applies the MBBA BID targeted rate which is collected from the ratepayer/property owner or indirectly by the business owner/tenant located within the MBBA BID boundary area.
The MBBA BID targeted rate is calculated as a percentage on the capital value of the business rated properties located within the MBBA BID boundary area, to view a map visit: https://bid.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/Documents/BID%20rating%20maps/bidmap-mairangibay.pdf
To see the targeted rate for your property visit this link:

Advocacy:
Advocating to Local Government; Council; CCO’s and National decision makers for improving the business environment is one of the most valuable services provided by a Business Association. Strong local advocacy and representation stops local issues being overlooked.
We have developed strong relationships within the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board and present formal submissions and informal feedback to ensure our members’ views are considered in their decision-making process.
Auckland Council utilise the Business Association (BID) as their point of contact to distribute policy information/changes, consultation documentation etc to make sure everyone is kept informed and given a chance to ‘have their say’.
This means that businesses located outside BID boundaries are often unaware of impending policy changes.
We are often the first to know and regularly lobby on behalf of local business and present professional submissions on Council or Transport proposals that could affect our area or your business.
These submissions are distributed to all our members to read or use if making individual submissions.
