The PBA Story
The Panmure Commercial Association was founded in 1952 as a voluntary organisation with a focus on promotions.
In the early 1990’s, the Panmure Commercial Association in conjunction with the Auckland City Council forged a relationship based on the Canadian/USA Mainstreet (retail focused) model.
In 2011, we became a Business Improvement District (BID) which represents the diversity of businesses in our area and is not solely retail focused. Businesses and organisations which are within the boundary of our BID area become one of our members automatically.
Each of our 150 building owners, within a defined commercial area of Panmure, pays a special targeted rate that is collected by Auckland Council in the annual rates bill. This fund is then distributed back to the PBA in quarterly instalments and is to be used for projects and promotions within the town centre.
Each October at the Annual General Meeting, an Executive Committee (also known as a Board) consisting of up to eleven building and business owners or managers within the BID area, are elected to set the strategic direction of the Association, to decide how this targeted rate grant is to be spent, and are tasked to ensure that they are spent wisely in an effective programme.
