Ahuriri Business Association

In 2007 a steering committee was set up to establish a business association funded by a levy collected via rates; this is how similar organisations around Hawke’s Bay and the country are funded. Due process was followed and landowners voted against the levy by a very slight majority, thus a levy was not put in place. Despite this funding set back, volunteers formed an incorporated society in 2008 and the Ahuriri Business Association was officially launched.

The role of the association is to:

Lead, motivate and inspire stakeholders
Promote the Ahuriri brand
