Benefits and costs
Benefits
- A positive impact through business growth and a stronger identity for the
area.
- The ability of the business development community to hire full time staff
to professionally manage the programme.
- More effective advocacy to address issues and planning, such as traffic
and zoning, that affect the Rosebank business area.
- Easier access to additional funding such as corporate sponsors, lottery
grants as well as Auckland City Council's SLIPs (small local improvement projects)
and CAPEX funding (capital works funding).
Cost
- Each property in the area pays an additional targeted rate.
- The targeted rate for each property is based on a calculation of the number
of businesses in the community, the rateable value of each property and the size
of the proposed budget for the programme.
Safety award for Rosebank
In August 2006, the Rosebank business development community
was awarded a community safety award for the Rosebank Business Precinct Security
and Crime Prevention Initiative. This programme has made a long-term and
sustained commitment to crime prevention and improving safety in the area.
