Auckland Council’s new BID Policy ratified

O

n December 13 the Auckland Council ratified a new policy for the establishment and running of Business Improvement Districts (BIDs). While there are already 46 BIDs operating in the Auckland region, the new policy was designed to integrate the slightly different policies of the five former city councils so that they are all run under the same rules.

Mayor Len Brown says the move signals the Council is serious about building the region’s local townships and industrial business improvement districts and ensuring they receive appropriate funding. “We rightly focus a lot on having a successful city centre, but we’ve got 187 villages and towns in the region and I’d like to see a BID programme operating in every one of them.”

The area that the North Harbour Business Association currently manages is a BID and will therefore be run under the new policy. North Harbour was specifically mentioned in the policy document as an example of a well managed BID. The North Harbour BID status is about to commence it’s re-poll programme in February and March (see below and page 8).

The new policy is based around a partnership approach for Council and the BID. Each business association must enter into a partnering agreement for a specified term. This document defines the relationships and roles of the two parties and sits alongside the Memorandum of Understanding that is signed

between the Local Board and the Business Association.

Auckland Council role as a “governing body” levies the targeted rate for each BID Partnership Programme and ensures they are included the Annual Plan. It also monitors the effectiveness of the individual BID programme at a regional level.

Local Boards (the Upper Harbour Local Board in the North Harbour BID’s case) are seen as joint partners in each BID Partnership Programme.

They work with the Business Association charged with implementing and managing the BID programmes (the NHBA in North Harbour’s case), working with them to align the direction for the BID programme with local priorities. The NHBA reports regularly to the Upper Harbour Local Board on their programme’s progress.

A local board member will

be appointed to represent the board in all matters relating to the Business Association, and it is up to that Association whether the board member is invited to be part of the Executive Committee and have voting rights. However, this is strongly recommended under the new policy.

In the case of the NHBA the UHLB’s chairman Brian Neeson is the Board’s nominated representative and has an open invitation to attend NHBA Executive Committee meetings.

Business Associations are accountable to all their eligible voters and the Auckland Council, which not only collects the targeted rate, but also ensures it is spent as it was intended.

It is important to note that 100 per cent of the target rate collected goes to the Business Association.

You can read the full BID policy by downloading it from www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz

Vote in support of continuing the North Harbour Business Improvement District Soon you will be receiving information and voting papers for the North Harbour BID re-poll.

This is your opportunity to ensure the programmes and initiatives currently benefiting businesses within the North Harbour Industrial Estate continue and develop.

You’ll find everything you need to know about the process, the North Harbour Business Association’s operations and plans for the future on page 8 or on our website at www.nhba.org.nz/ VoteYESAgain.

organisational structure

From the chair On behalf of your Executive Committee and our executive team it gives me great pleasure to welcome you back to the New Year in 2012. Thank you for your support in 2011 as well as that of our key stakeholders including Auckland Council, Auckland Transport, the Ministry of Justice, NZ Police and our Gold Sponsors.

Going forward we have a number of significant milestones in 2012. The first of these being the re-poll of our members to confirm our ongoing funding under the North Harbour Business Improvement District (BID). Your proactive support in the coming year will enable us to continue to maintain and enhance the services we offer the wider membership including advocacy/ representation, economic development, transport and crime prevention initiatives.

community implications will take some time to work through.

Our high exchange rate supported by strong commodity pricing and the strength of our major trading partner Australia has offset import costs but made us less competitive for some exporters.

Overall, 2012 looks to be another year of consolidation and cautious development.

Our best wishes go to all members for the year ahead.

Market Environment The marketplace still shows signs of volatility driven by uncertainty with the US and European markets. Technology developments in many sectors are creating challenges and opportunity, which are driving change and commercial development for many members.

The Rugby World Cup drove revenue into the hospitality sector and strong promotion of New Zealand internationally as a tourist and business destination. On the local front it had a short term negative spin-off effect in some sectors with traditional demand being lowered by the consumer spend on Rugby World Cup events and higher travel and associated costs.

Christchurch continues to be impacted by the ongoing earthquake activity and the medium/long-term commercial and

NHBA – 2011 in Review 2011 saw significant effort applied to the development of our Crime Prevention and Transport Programme in conjunction with the Ministry of Justice and Auckland Transport. These culminated in the release of Tool Kits for each programme, providing practical information and products designed to add real value to members. These Tool Kits continue to be distributed to members free of charge.

We designed and released a new website to create an improved platform for information sharing and business development.

We held a range of well-supported events including: Business Breakfasts: Graeme Avery (Sileni and Millenium Institute of Sport and Health), Dr Lester Levy (Auckland School of Business), Mark Hawthorne (McDonalds NZ), Rob Fyfe (Air New Zealand), Dr Don Brash (Act Party).

After 5 Business Networking hosted by: Kea Campers and Unitec The new Auckland Council Business Improvement District Policy was approved

by Council late last year (see page 1). The policy provides a framework under which rate-funded BIDs operate going forward and is substantially consistent with our preexisting operating arrangements under the NHBA BID. Full details of our activities and achievements in 2011 are contained in our Annual Report available at www.nhba.org.nz

We also expect to be appointing a new Transport Manager in the near term with Sue Kohn-Taylor moving to Hamilton over the next couple of months.

2012 – The Year Ahead We are looking to continue to maintain and improve our current key programmes of Transport and Crime Prevention while seeking to focus more strongly on Advocacy/Representation and Economic Development as we move ahead. We aim to continue adding value to your organisation by providing relevant and cost-effective services without the need to increase our service charges, collected through Auckland Council as a rate.

Our guiding principles and plan for the financial years ending 30 June 2012 and 2013 are detailed in our Business Plan which is available at www.nhba.org.nz On behalf of our Executive Committee and Executive Team, my thanks for your ongoing support which is much appreciated. We welcome any feedback on current or future activities and ask that you take the opportunity to review the information on the BID re-poll process in this issue of FYI and keep an eye out for information on pages 8-11 regarding our Vote YES Again in 2012 campaign over the coming months.

business development

Financial outlook for 2012 It’s no surprise to anyone that New Zealand is looking at a period of slow growth in 2012. But at least growth is still being predicted.

In fact a recent business planning report from Business New Zealand said that we can continue to feel “relatively confident about the future, taking into account the very uncertain times”.

While world commodity export prices have fallen lately, New Zealand’s terms of trade have remained sound, showing continued growth in most of the trading partners. There is strong demand from China, which is expected to grow more than 8 per cent in 2012, while the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation

NHBA subsidises Speechcraft course for members

Being able to speak effectively in public is not just an issue for CEOs, politicians and celebrities; it’s an important skill for anyone in business.

Being able to speak clearly, succinctly, engagingly and confidently will help you grow your business, which is why the North Harbour Business Association has teamed up with Albany Toastmasters to offer members a special deal on a Speechcraft course.

The course runs over six weekly two-hour sessions, with a break over Easter, and will introduce participants to the skills needed to write, practise and present a successful speech. It’s also appropriate for more experienced speakers, as it will extend their existing expertise.

The course normally costs $100, but the NHBA will be subsidising this cost for its members, so it will only cost you $50.

and Development) forecasted average is down to just 1.6 per cent.

The farming sector continues to show relatively strong growth on the back of good spring weather and high demand for protein, but manufacturing is still in the doldrums.

At home, the global outlook and a slower than expected start to the Christchurch redbuild mean the NZIER is now predicting 2.2 per cent growth in the year to March 2012, and 3 per cent for the year to March 2013*.

Households are already concentrating on paying off debt and this will continue, while businesses will be cautious with investment, and a rise in new jobs will only be modest.

The developments overseas in the past three months have contributed to the likelihood that the government will post a $1 billion deficit in the year to June 2014, rather

Ken McInnes has been involved in Toastmasters for many years and is part of the Albany club. As Managing Director of Ivoclar Vivadent NZ, a subsidiary of a Lichtenstein-based company, he has to stand up and say something in front of people every day.

It was when he had to make a five-minute presentation to a professional association that he decided he needed some help. “It was awful, I just wasn’t prepared. It still makes me cringe.”

For Ken, attending Toastmasters was all about becoming more consistent and he says it has had benefits in a lot of areas – from running meetings to speaking at events.

“What was really helpful within Toastmasters was that everything you do gets evaluated positively. You get feedback that you wouldn’t get otherwise – framed in a way that is meant to help you improve.”

That feedback element is an important part of the Speechcraft course. Each week participants will be given a new topic and someone else is allocated to give positive and constructive feedback.

“By the end of the six weeks they will be significantly more advanced at public speaking. It’s about having a purpose and structure, getting to the point, being more effective and making an impact. Getting your point across quickly and clearly is essential in the business environment.”

The course starts on Thursday March 8 from 6.30pm to 8.30pm and will be held at Ivoclar Vivdent’s offices on Omega Street each week until April 19.

than the $1 billion surplus economists had predicted just three months ago.

Inflation is expected to slow, averaging just 2.4 per cent over the next three years (down from 2.7 per cent in the September forecast), and as a result the Reserve Bank is expected to keep official interest rates on hold for longer. The first review of the Official Cash Rate is on January 26. * The NZIER compiles these forecasts from a survey of banks and economic agencies.

The economic outlook often differs to what businesses on the ground are feeling. What is the view from your business? North Harbour Business Association is always looking for comments and feedback that can help them shape their programmes and discussions with stakeholders.

Transport & Infrastructure

Securing North Harbour’s power supply

T

ranspower is undertaking a project that will increase the security of the electricity supply to Auckland and Northland, while also helping to meet increasing energy demands in these areas.

The $415m North Auckland and Northland (NAaN) project involves laying a new 220kV underground transmission cable link from Pakuranga to Albany – that’s 37km in all – connecting through the substation at Penrose and two new substations being built at Hobson Street in Auckland Central and Wairau Road.

The Albany section has been underway since October last year, and because most of the work is being done in existing transmission corridors, there is expected to be little disruption to businesses or traffic in the North Harbour area.

There will be works on Bush Road, Albany Highway, Rosedale Road and Jack Hinton Drive, however full traffic management plans are in place, with clear on-road signage, plus the NHBA is liaising closely with Transpower to ensure local businesses are aware of any disruptions. You may already have noticed the road crossing work at Bush Road between Northwood and George Pannill reserves.

The future benefits, on the other hand, are substantial. Project director Paul Duffy, says that currently the North Shore and Northland are heavily reliant on two circuits following a single route between Otahuhu and Henderson. “The new circuit will create a ring around Auckland providing two independent routes to get power to the North Shore, which

provides more security of supply,” he says.

That’s especially important considering more than 70 per cent of Auckland and Northland’s peak demand for electricity is provided by generation south of Bombay and that Auckland currently uses 30 per cent of New Zealand’s power, a figure that is expected to rise to 38 per cent by 2040.

Paul says it is the largest power infrastructure project in Auckland since the 1960s and it’s the first time an underground cable project of this scale has been undertaken in New Zealand. “The existing cables are very short stretches whereas this is 37km of extra high voltage cable circuit. It’s new technology for New Zealand.”

Approximately 8.4km of that cable will be installed in the Northern Busway and the designated North Shore Transmission Corridor as part of the Albany section.

The project received approval in May 2009 and is expected to be completed in June 2013.

Find out more about the project at www.gridnewzealand.co.nz, twitter @ TranspowerAKL Facebook TranspowerNZ or calling 0800 655 463 You can read more about Transpower – who are sponsoring the NHBA’s Business Luncheon with Len Brown – on page 12.

Works update The wet start to the year forced some changes in the location of the work on the Transpower Infrastructure project. The teams that were working in George Pannill reserve were shifted to the North Harbour Hockey Stadium, and are expected to finish there by early February.

Once this section is complete workers will return to the reserve and Kristin Lane, which is expected to be completed by the end of February or early March – weather permitting.

NHBA will keep you updated on works and areas to avoid through the website – www.nhba.org.nz

Park and Ride to double in size The number of parking spaces within the Albany Park and Ride facility are set to double – from 550 to 1100 – as Auckland Transport begins a major extension.

The $5.5 million project, due to begin in early February, is the second time the facility has been extended. It opened in November 2005 with 370 car parking spaces, and 181 were added in May 2007 to meet demand.

The facility is part of the Northern Busway initiative, New Zealand’s first purpose-built road dedicated to bus passenger transport, and forms a key part of Auckland’s Rapid Transport Network. Auckland Transport says the 2012 extension is further evidence that the Northern Busway is changing the way people travel in the area.

A sculpture designed by renowned Titirangi artist, Caroline Robinson, will also be built on site. The seven-metre high limestone tower represents the artist’s impression of the car park’s location near Lucas Creek.

Work is expected to be completed by the end of July 2012.

Make an impact in North Harbour

The people behind the programmes

The NHBA is currently looking for a Transport Projects Manager to join their team on a part-time, contract basis.

Melanie Alexander

The main purpose of the role is to create an environment within the North Harbour business district that promotes diverse transport solutions and encourages the use of transport management planning among business owners and institutional organisations located within or who impact on the North Harbour Business Estate.

There is a lot of variety to this position, so we are looking for someone dynamic and able to effectively change gears when required. You will also be a strategic thinker who is able to analyse situations effectively and ensure you are constantly looking at the “big picture” While an understanding of transport management planning would be an advantage it is not necessary if you can supply evidence of the above skills, are naturally influential and able to interact with all areas of society with confidence. The focus is on sustaining long-term relationships with all stakeholders.

Hours of work vary depending on planned activities and we estimate an average workload of around 20 hours a week. A contract hourly rate will be negotiated with the successful candidate.

Please email your CV and covering letter in the first instance to the General Manager at janine.brinsdon@ nhba.org.nz, or call Janine on 021 212 4942 if you require additional information.

Regional Programme Manager for Community Transport Auckland Transport The NHBA regularly liaises with Auckland Transport on behalf of its members and you get to reap the benefits of the resulting programmes and initiatives. But those programmes wouldn’t exist without the dedication of the people who make them happen.

Melanie is a valued contact for the NHBA Transport Projects Manager, so at FYI we thought we’d find out a bit more about her.

Why do you work for Auckland Transport?

My role enables me to integrate the work we do with schools, businesses and communities to promote travel choices. Our role in Auckland Transport means that we can provide integration with Auckland Transport teams delivering road improvements, safety, public transport, cycling and walking and parking. This enables us to have more cohesion and input for working with our partners such as North Harbour Business Association.

For me working with partners to promote and deliver travel choices and enabling ease of access around the city is the most exciting part of my role.

What role Auckland Transport plays in keeping business running smoothly?

Our role in travel planning at Auckland Transport is to work in partnership with business to make it easier for people to get to work, by providing choices in travel and information about those choices we can reduce congestion and make the journey to work less stressful.

What do you enjoy most about the projects you get to work on?

We have the opportunity to work on really interesting challenges.

With North Harbour it’s been great to link the work we are doing in the TMA (Transport Management

Area) with the schools and the future development of the Albany Highway. Working with NHBA enables tailoring our knowledge and tools to meet the challenges for the particular area. Definitely my favourite are is developing tools and working in partnerships.

What do you find the most challenging?

Finding solutions to the issues of congestion and developing opportunities for other travel modes to the private car that meet the needs of a wide a range of people as possible.

How have things changed since the implementation of the Supercity structure?

Definitely for the better. Having one integrated transport delivery agency means that we can work together to deliver solutions and connect with businesses, schools and communities.

What message would you like to give to the businesses in the North Harbour area?

Everyone can make a difference, not using your car just one day a week will impact on congestion to work. The NHBA has listened to your issues and working together we are providing choices to help your journeys. The CarpoolNow scheme has around 250 registered participants, and “Give it a go” public transport passes provide alternatives to sitting in your car alone.

crime prevention

Introducing Anna Crane In January, the NHBA welcomed a new Crime Prevention Specialist to their executive team.

A

fter seven years working as a legal executive, Anna Crane changed careers and entered the New Zealand Police force. It was a move prompted by a desire to get out of the office and to help people.

That led to 13 years working as a constable in general duties and intelligence work; before an opportunity arose to become the Team Leader Community Safety for Rodney District Council, about 3 years ago.

“It was a natural follow-on from my work as the Community Constable for Kumeu Huapai, but it was time to do something a bit different,” Anna says. “I have a young son so it was also a good move for the family. I really enjoy working with the community development principles, working constructively with people to solve problems and making the community a better place.”

The transition into the Auckland Supercity adjusted her role in November 2010, as she took on the position Team Leader Community Safety for North Auckland.

Her biggest challenge will be getting out “That role was more managemnt work and meeting as many people in the North and I wanted to focus on a project were I Harbour community as possible, learning coud see real positive results for people.” more about them, their businesses, and their she says.

Anna is impressed with what the NHBA Crime Prevention Programme has already achieved and what it’s offering members.

“We want to help create a really good strong community that is safe for everyone to work in. A real core part of being in a community is feeling safe. I’m looking forward to meeting business owners in the area in 2012.”

Anna Crane started as the NHBA’s Crime Prevention Specialist on January 25 and will responsible for running and implementing the Association’s Crime Prevention Programme. Her role is partly funded by the Ministry of Justice as part of a 30-month pilot programme.

Your BID Ballot questions answered There is more detailed information about how the North Harbour Business Association works and the BID arrangement on www. nhba.org.nz but here are a few key points.

What is a Business Improvement District?

BIDs have been used internationally to promote local development since the first one started in Toronto in 1970. There are 46 currently within the Auckland supercity structure, providing partnerships between local government, the business community and other stakeholders.

NHBA is an independent non-profit organisation funded by a targeted rate collected by the Auckland Council and from appropriate external sources such as the Ministry of Justice. These funds are used to implement the business plan for NHBA which is focused on developing your local business area.

We are required by Auckland Council to renew our BID so please give us your vote of support for North Harbour.

What is the BID area?

The NHBA area is bounded by Rosedale Road to the north, State Highway 1 to the east, Upper Harbour Highway to the south and Albany Highway to the west.

This area captures some 1500 businesses and commercial organisations that, together, employ more than 15,000 people.

See map above.

How does the ballot work?

All property owners, business owners and tenants operating within the BID area are eligible to vote. You’ll receive a ballot paper by 17 February 2012, which should be posted by Tuesday 6 March 2012 to ensure it is received before midday Friday 9 March 2012.

How much will I pay?

The funding that comes from the targeted rate makes up about 60 per cent of NHBA’s total budget. This targeted rate is based on a minimum levy of $150 per annum, plus a percentage of your commercial property value. The average levy per ratepayer last ballot was less than $240 per annum. Refer to your rates bill and Auckland Council website for the detailed BID Policy.

The strength and effectiveness of NHBA’s initiatives and activities have also attracted

significant funding from other sources such as the Ministry of Justice and Auckland Transport, which has enabled us to keep the targeted rate at 2008 levels.

What is the North Harbour Business Association?

NHBA is a non-profit organisation run by and for its members. All businesses and commercial organisations in the BID area are eligible for membership, which is funded by the targeted rate. Membership is not automatic but you simply register via www.nhba.org.nz.

The organisation is run by an Executive Committee consisting of a maximum of 12 elected local business people. The committee meets monthly and members are also involved in a number of sub committees for areas such as transport and marketing.

The delivery of member services and activities functions are the responsibility of the NHBA Executive Staff, comprising a General Manager, Crime Prevention Specialist, Transport Projects Manager and Administrator.

As part of its operating mandate, the NHBA holds an Annual General Meeting, giving members the opportunity to be involved with setting the organisation’s future direction and focus.

Members are invited to ask questions and stand for election to the Executive Committee. The NHBA demonstrates transparency and good governance in publishing and distributing its annual report.

Businesses in neighbouring areas also have the opportunity to be involved with NHBA as associate members.

Power to the people Electricity has become an essential part of our everyday lives – whether it’s at home or at work.

While we only have to flick the switch to enjoy its benefits, Transpower is charged with the responsibility of keeping the electricity flowing.

P

ut simply, Transpower is a connector.

The state-owned enterprise takes the bulk electricity generated by companies such as Mighty River Power and Genesis Energy and transports it to New Zealand’s cities, towns and some major industrial users. It then connects with electricity distribution companies such as Vector who then package and deliver that electricity to the homes and businesses within those areas.

It’s a role that affects almost everybody living and doing business in New Zealand, and it extends to ensuring the security of that power supply 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

From the beginning New Zealand’s electricity has been generated largely from renewable sources – hydro and geothermal – as well as coal and gas.

The facts Transpower owns and operates the national power grid, which includes: • 11,812km of high voltage lines • 182 sub and switching stations • 41,450 towers and poles • Its assets are located in 77 regional, district and city council areas.

Transpower became a state-owned enterprise in 1994, but it has been the backbone for the National Grid for about 100 years – essentially since electricity became part of everyday life.

Today, much of New Zealand’s hydro electricity supply is generated from lakes and rivers in the South Island, but most of the electricity demand is in the North Island, specifically the Auckland region.

Consequently, large amounts of electricity need to be transmitted long distances between the two islands.

To do this, Transpower operates an HDVC (high voltage direct current) link from Benmore hydro power station in the South Island to Haywards substation near Wellington. The link crosses Cook Strait using submarine cables, allowing large electricity transfers between the two islands.

Part of ensuring the security of the nation’s electricity supply is planning ahead so that the national grid will meet the needs of future generations. Transpower calls on a range of computer programs that simulate how New Zealand’s power system behaves as electricity demand and generation grow.

Once a future need is identified, the company must identify the options to resolve it and determine the preferred option, seek approval from the Commerce Commission to recover the cost if it concerns transmission, design the solution and get Resource Management Act approval to build.

An example of this in action is the current North Auckland and Northland

12 • FYI January 2012 • www.nhba.org.nz/voteyesagain

Grid Upgrade (see pages 4 and 5 for more details). The $415m North Auckland and Northland (NAaN) project involves laying a new 220kV underground transmission cable link from Pakuranga to Albany – that’s 37km in all – connecting through the substation at Penrose and two new substations being built at Hobson Street in Auckland Central and Wairau Road.

The purpose is to provide two independent routes for electricity to be supplied to Auckland and Northland instead of the current single route.

Transpower’s investments and transmission charges are regulated by the Commerce Commission. Alongside its commercial responsibilities, Transpower also has a strong commitment to give back to the communities that live in close proximity to their transmission assets. A number of educational, environmental and staff initiatives have been developed with this in mind including Transpower’s CommunityCare Fund.

The CommunityCare Fund was established in 2006 and funds local projects that add value to communities affected by new Transpower works or upgrade plans.

They have also developed a number of partnerships with community organisations such as the New Zealand Landcare Trust.

The challenges of leading a supercity Auckland Mayor Len Brown will be speaking to North Harbour Business Association members at the next Business Luncheon event on February 10.

I

t has been just over a year since the four cities of the Auckland region combined into one “supercity” with one mayor presiding over it all. Former Manukau City mayor Len Brown won that election and has spent that first year grappling with the challenges of running a city that houses a third of the country’s population.

Even Len himself didn’t full realise the scope of the job when he stood for election.

“I always knew it was going to be huge,” he says, “but until your day is divided into 30-minute blocks of back-to-back meetings, and you’re attending events from Wellsford to Waiuku, Mairangi Bay to Huia and Howick you don’t realise just how big.”

The mayor’s office gets hundreds of letters and invitations each week on top of his everyday commitments. Despite that, he has made time in his schedule to address NHBA members at the February Business Luncheon event.3 FYI magazine spoke to Len ahead of the event and he gave us a preview of some of the topics he’ll be addressing, as well as the importance of Business Improvement Districts in the success of Auckland’s and the national economy.

What do you feel are the biggest achievements of the new council so far?

Keeping rates low, around the rate of inflation, while maintaining the high levels of council services. Council staff worked incredibly hard to find more than $80 million worth of savings and efficiencies in our first year. At the same time we committed to the biggest ever programme of investment in Auckland’s communities.

What do you see as the biggest issues facing the council over 2012 and the remainder of their first term?

Maintaining fair rate increases while providing the infrastructure needed to unlock Auckland’s potential as the nation’s economic powerhouse. A strong Auckland means both strong local communities within the region and a strong New Zealand.

Len Brown

One of the biggest things holding us back is our congested and fragmented transport system. We must have an integrated, effective system that gives our people options for the way they travel; one that frees up our roads for commercial traffic to flow. It will be a significant investment for Auckland, and we need to have a robust discussion about how we fund that. With our population estimated to hit 2 million by 2030, it is something we cannot keep postponing.

What major lessons can you take away from the first year and a bit?

Auckland benefits most when we put the petty squabbling and partisan politicking of the old Auckland behind us and focus on a united way forward to make Auckland the best it can be.

What part do you see Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) playing in Auckland - and the national - economy?

BIDs [such as the one in North Harbour] are a vital tool to reinvigorate and support our local town centres, as well as supporting local economic development, recognising local conditions and economic drivers differ across Auckland.

Great cities are built on strong, resilient local communities, and

that includes thriving local economies. The more successful Auckland’s economy is, the greater the contribution we can make to the rest of New Zealand.

The North Harbour Business District is one of Auckland’s fastest growing commercial areas and important employment base, with around 1500 businesses and 15,000 employees.

You have an active and involved business association with strong links to your Local Board, the council’s economic development arm and New Zealand Trade and Enterprise.

It has innovative programmes in place and an excellent awareness of local needs and how that fits with the greater Auckland economy.

It is organisations and relationships like this that will see local economies thrive and feed into the productive, high-value economy Auckland must build to be the economic powerhouse New Zealand needs us to be.

Anything else you’d like to add?

The Auckland Plan, which the council will finalise and adopt this year, our Local Board plans and Economic Development Strategy will work in unison for smarter, more strategic economic and urban growth locally and regionally.

Infrastructure development is a major challenge facing Auckland, especially for transport. We need to invest significantly in Auckland’s future, and as a community, we need to discuss the best ways of funding it.

Business Education

Building a good foundation

The North Harbour Business Association not only looks to develop its member businesses, but also its future business leaders. Former Rangitoto College student Matt Jillings got to experience that firsthand when he won the Bachelor of Business Studies Scholarship.

T

he programme started in partnership with Rangitoto College, giving six of their School of Business students the chance to be mentored by six NHBA member companies: Actionmail, Linkplas, ZeroDown (Rad9), Roofing Industries, Sealegs International and Speedy Signs.

Once that part was completed, one of the six was selected to receive a $15,000 three-year scholarship – funded by the six companies – to study a Bachelor of Business Studies.

Matt Jillings was the chosen scholarship recipient and has just completed his first year of study with excellent marks. FYI magazine caught up with him and he heads into year two with five A+ grades and two A- under his belt.

Prime Minister John Key presenting the Bachelor of Business Studies Scholarship to Matt Jillings.

Why did you get involved in the programme to begin with?

The main reason I got involved was because I thought it was a great opportunity to gain some first-hand business experience and learn some really good practical skills that you otherwise wouldn’t in a classroom environment. The lure of a potential $15,000 scholarship was definitely another major reason.

What have you found the most challenging of the first year?

For sure the most challenging aspect of my

first year was just the workload. All of your assignments and tests seem to fall at the exact same time and trying to study for and stay up to date with four papers at once can be quite challenging. It is quite a jump from the workload you have at school and really requires some effort to stay on top of it.

Where do you see your future lying at this stage?

I am majoring in both Economics and Finance. I really enjoy the financial side of business and am hoping to start a career in corporate finance. I would also like to get involved in management at some stage.

What has surprised you the most?

I would have to say the ost surprising thing for me was how broad the Bachelor of Business Studies degree is. You take eight core papers in your first year before deciding on your majors for the remaining two years. We seem to cover so many different facets of business in your first year, which is great because it exposes you to a broad array of business.

What would your dream job be?

That’s a tough question. I would have to say my dream job would be a CFO/CEO position in a really innovative company that is doing something a bit different from the crowd. I would like to be part of a company that has a significant impact and changes the way people use products or go about tasks.

Why do you think the scholarship is a good thing for personal and professional development?

On a personal level I feel like having a scholarship has been a great motivator.

I am in a position of privilege to receive this opportunity and don’t want to let down anyone who has invested in me both financially and with their time. I want to make sure I make the most of this opportunity and commit myself 100 per cent. I feel like the scholarship definitely helps me to grow on a personal level and apply myself further. It also eliminates some of the stress associated with course fees and student loans which make it easier to focus on your studies.

In terms of professional development being the recipient of a scholarship definitely sets you apart from the crowd.

It gives you a point of difference and distinguishes you from other university graduates. The fact the scholarship was awarded to me by Prime Minister John Key adds to the prestige and is a further motivator to strive for improvement on a professional level.

What advice would you give to others who were interested in being part of a mentor programme?

I would say just to go for it. It gives you a chance to get some first-hand business experience that you otherwise wouldn’t get.

You really have nothing to lose.

celebrating success

The place to be Pacrite has been based in the North Harbour area for more than 20 years and has seen a lot of changes in the area.

Pacrite was formed more than 25 years ago around a vision to provide high quality plastic packaging. It was a vision supported by expert knowledge and service to a variety of industries, so that businesses can focus on their core activities and strengths.

Pacrite create outstanding, functional and completely managed packaging solutions for companies, both small and large. This involves working closely with clients from product development through to ongoing supply management, with expert assistance offered at every stage. You’d be surprised at the range of flexible plastic products and types of industries that Pacrite supplies, from the most technical barrier films, to a basic rubbish bag.

Being 100 per cent owner-operated means Pacrite remains flexible and adapts easily to clients’ needs, placing great emphasis on building long-term supply relationships. In fact, many of Pacrite’s clients have been with the business for 10 years or more.

General manager Victoria Dickinson says Pacrite aims to make the creation of packaging an exciting and stress-free process. “Our team often receives calls and emails from our clients thanking us for our dedicated service and support, which reassures me that we are still achieving what we set out to do.”

Pacrite takes service seriously, offering all clients regardless of size an in-depth consultation with our sales and technical team, design assistance in structure and graphics, as well as complete logistics service when required for larger contracts, including inventory management and distribution.

That quality and expertise has attracted the interest of large overseas companies, and Pacrite has also worked closely with them to provide packaging solutions that assist in improving product presentation and entering into new markets, ranging from Tahiti and Samoa to France and the United States.

Pacrite works with a diverse range of clients and markets to bring their ideas

to life – from design and advertising agencies to product development managers and procurement managers.

The manufacturing processes involved in producing the business’ products mean there often are minimum order quantities attached, however, Pacrite has worked hard to develop stock ranges of products such as vacuum pouches, pallet wrapping films and food wrap, that can be sold by the roll or carton.

Having been based in the North Harbour Industrial Area for more than 20 years, a decision was made in 1994 to build within the area. As well as being a new and growing area, lifestyle also played a major part in the choice to build. That it was close to high quality schools, beaches, and open countryside, but also easily accessible and close to all major ports and distribution centres were all factors considered when deciding to build, and it’s a decision Pacrite have never looked back on.

Over the years, Pacrite has seen North Harbour develop into a major business hub for Auckland. With roughly 250,000 residents, the North Shore area provides a high standard of employees, who prefer the local commute.

Victoria says the calibre and scope of companies based in the North Harbour area leads to many business opportunities, whether they come through networks, local business functions and business associations.

“It is an exciting place to be positioned. Looking back to when Pacrite’s new building was built in 1994, it really puts into perspective how the area has developed, and it is not over yet. When you compare the North Harbour Industrial Area with others, it is still to this day a very attractive estate and location.”
