Reasons
The Rosebank Business Association has begun working to make Rosebank
a 'safer, cleaner and smarter' place to do business through:
- marketing and promotions – developing effective campaigns to enhance the
Rosebank area's brand by co-ordinating promotions, a website, publications
and signage
- planning - working closely with Auckland City Council to improve traffic and
transport matters as well as waste collection
- business development - improving security and developing employment
opportunities in the area.
The establishment of a business development community has
enabled the Rosebank Business Association to continue its work with secure
long-term funding that is contributed to by businesses in the area in a fair and
equitable way. It has also led to greater collaboration and partnership with Auckland
City Council with the development of
Rosebank 2030 draft business precinct
plan.
