Otara Business Association | Auckland New Zealand

OTARA BUSINESS ASSOCIATION

Otara Business Association (OBA) is an organization made up of businesses in the Otara Town Centre. Our core focus is to develop local business and make the town centre a welcoming and attractive space for people, business and the community to flourish.

The OBA operates as a Business Improvement District (BID) meaning core funding for our operations is received through an Auckland Council targeted rate levied from businesses in the BID area.

OBA works in partnership with various community and council based forums and organisations to facilitate and deliver opportunities that will enhance our community, economic development and support the Town Centre to offer a diverse range of events and shopping experiences in a safe and secure environment.

The OBA is proud to represent the retailers and landlords in the Otara BID area and deliver a comprehensive range of advocacy, events, security and collaborations to ensure that Otara is a great place to meet, shop and do business.
