Ellerslie Business Association (EBA)
Who Are We? What Do We Do?
The Ellerslie Business Association (EBA) is a registered Incorporated Society with the key purpose to enhance Ellerslie Village and promote economic growth so that it is an area where people desire to live, work, and visit. We run local events & promotions, advocate on behalf of our members, and provide support & services to member businesses & property owners.
Our association represents & supports the nearly 200 business owners and landlords within Ellerslie Village and is funded by a targeted rate grant from local business ratepayers, administered by Auckland Council. Auckland Council supports Business Associations operating BID Programmes as set out in the council BID Policy 2022: https://bid.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/bid-policy. For more info visit: https://bid.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/
EBA is governed by an elected executive committee representing the business association & registered (full) members (see current executive board contact list link below). The executive board meets every two months. All members are invited to the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in October each year (see meeting dates link below).
Ellerslie Business Association’s boundary area is known as a BID (Business Improvement District). This small geographic area extends from Ramsgate St along Main Highway around the corner to 8 Robert St, and up Ladies Mile including numbers 179 and 188.
