The Uptown Business Association is a not-for-profit Incorporated Society.  Our budget is funded through a partnership programme with Auckland City Council, by commercial ratepayers within the Uptown Business Association’s boundary area.

Our role is to promote and advocate for the Uptown Precinct and it’s membership.

Within council governance Uptown is referred to as a BID (Business Improvement District). There are over 50 BID’s in the Auckland region representing their respective communities.

If you are a commercial ratepayer, or your business is located within the Uptown BID Boundary area, then you are eligible to become a member.

An Annual General Meeting is held once a year where financial and governance/management reports are presented. Members approve the operating budget for the following year. All documents are posted on our website at least two weeks prior and shared with members.

Each year members elect an Executive Committee to oversee the interests of the Association. Committee members meet monthly. The Association Manager reports to this group.  

The Waitemata & Albert-Eden Local Boards have representatives who attend our meetings to ensure there is information flow between the group.

Currently twice a year, at the start of Winter & Summer.
