Auckland Council Annual Plan 2026/2027
It’s time to have your say.
The Auckland Council Annual Plan will include information relating to the 50 BID programmes in operation across Auckland and the BID targeted rate information to be collected for 2026/2027.
Business Improvement Districts (BID) are areas within Auckland where local businesses have agreed to work together, with support from the council, to improve their business environment and attract new businesses and customers.
The funding for these initiatives comes from Auckland Council collecting a BID targeted rate, which the businesses within a set BID boundary have voted and agreed to pay to fund BID projects and activities delivered by the BID-operating business association.
The targeted rate will fund the provision of a BID grant paid to each BID-operating business association.
How the BID rates will be assessed
The BID targeted rates will be applied to urban business and rural business land, as defined for rating purposes, that is in the defined BID areas.
The BID targeted rates will be assessed using a fixed rate and or value-based rate on the capital value of the property. Each BID area may recommend to council that part of its budget be funded from a combination of a fixed rate (up to $1,035, including GST) per rating unit with the remaining budget requirement funded from a value-based rate (applied as a rate in the dollar). Or funded from a value-based rate applied as a rate in the dollar only. There will be different rates for each BID programme.
