Crime Prevention Crime minimised with Police coordination and collective private security services

Executive Summary - Business Plan 2012 and 2013 Welcome to our Business Plan for the two financial years ending 30 June 2012 and 2013. This year we have adopted a two year timeframe to align our planning activities with the Auckland Council annual planning process.

Our Business Plan is set out in the following three parts: • Executive Summary • Detailed Business Plan with Key Performance Indicators • Budget 2012 and 2013 The approach adopted in this Business Plan is to deliver a range of services and activities that will ‘Empower Better Business’, made possible through our established relationships and partnerships with key stakeholders, such as: Auckland Council; Upper Harbour Local Board; Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development (ATEED); Auckland Transport; New Zealand Police; and Ministry of Justice.

Our ability to leverage and influence change will ensure that the collective voice of NHBA members are represented. The economies of scale made possible through the Business Improvement District (BID) will support efficient and effective infrastructure which has a positive impact within our BID and across the wider North Harbour community. Membership endorsement of this Business Plan will provide the impetus for even more positive results – delivering programmes and services in a costeffective way.

We welcome your involvement in the Association and feedback on our planned activities.

vision, purpose and mission

The new vision, purpose and mission for our Association are shown on the previous page.

They have been shaped by our historical development and current positioning, and reflect the structure of the organisation and our future development objectives.

Historical Development

NHBA was first launched 2003 as a voluntary, subscription-based organisation. The Association has grown strongly over the last eight years from its original foundation, driven

by issues relating to crime prevention and transport access around the closure of the southern end of William Pickering Drive.

Since transitioning to a targeted rate-funded organisation in July 2008 the Association has developed to become a recognised leader within Auckland in the development and delivery of services to a Commercial/ industrial BID.

Current Positioning

NHBA now represents a membership of over 1,500 businesses and property owners within a community of approximately 15,000 people.

A range of programmes has been developed internally and, in conjunction with current grant providers such as Auckland Transport and the Ministry of Justice, now covers: • Advocacy and Representation • Economic Development • Transport Management

Executive staff include a general manager and administration support funded by a targeted rate and programme managers funded primarily by specific grant activities from central and local government agencies.

The current NHBA BID membership area is centred on the North Harbour Industrial Estate on the western side of Auckland’s Northern Motorway (see map on back cover). There is potential for expansion of this catchment to adjacent commercial and industrial areas to create economies of scale and additional services to current and future members.

“We aim to create real value for NHBA members through relevant, cost effective services and focusing on economic development and advocacy.”

• Crime Prevention • Networking • Communications

Organisation Structure Our organisational structure comprises: • Executive Committee Board of up to 12 Board Members Board Subcommittees for: • Crime Prevention, Infrastructure and Transport • Member Services, Events and Communications

Organisation Development The future success of our organisation will be shaped by: • Securing member support and engagement for ongoing operations through a re-poll of members in early 2012 • Maintaining member rate levies through economies of scale by growing the NHBA membership base and services by:

• Finance and Audit

• Polling and inducting new members from the eastern side of the Northern Motorway centred on Apollo Drive

The primary focus for the Board and its Subcommittees are planning, governance and executive support.

• Attracting associate members from adjacent areas in the North and West sectors of Auckland NHBA Business Plan 2012 and 2013 1

• Extending current key programme funding lines in the Transport Management and Crime Prevention programmes to attract and retain personnel resources to achieve or better planned outcomes • Undertaking regular performance assessments of programme activity and key personnel to deliver service excellence and continuous improvement • Attracting and retaining experienced Executive Committee Board members from a broad range of industry backgrounds to provide effective representation, input, governance and support to NHBA Executive Team activities • Developing effective linkages to relevant special interest groups including not-for-profit organisations

Development Objectives 2011–2013

NHBA Business Plan 2012 and 2013 3

NHBA Business Plan 2012 – 2013 Building on the strengths and momentum of the member services offered during 2010/11, the key operational drivers for the years ending 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2013 are outlined below.

Empowering Better Business as our strap-line will continue to be the focus behind the development of core services through which we intend to deliver programmes or services which offer a cost-neutral or positive contribution (position) back to our membership.

1.0 Organisational Development The future success of our organisation will be shaped by the following:

3.0 Economic Development

Business Leadership and Development Functions Over the next 24 months, we will increase the depth of our economic development programmes to support the growth plans of our members.

We will facilitate with partners such as Auckland Council and ATEED access to governance, improved infrastructure and special interest group resources. Educational institutions for example, Massey University and Unitec, will provide members with access to skills and resources to build individual’s knowledge. We will represent the needs of business amongst educators to facilitate increased student internships and project placements, which will generate ‘work ready’ candidates for our local employment market.

We will develop opportunities for our members through specialist business capability providers such as ICEHOUSE, UKTI and NZ Trade and Enterprise based on the needs identified.

additional outcomes Below are activities we aim to influence and support partners in achieving.

NHBA Empowering Better Business Expo The first expo, held in April 2011, succeeded in providing the opportunity for businesses to build their profiles within the local North Harbour business community. It demonstrated the wide range and size of businesses that have chosen to locate in North Harbour.

In the post-expo survey, exhibitors confirmed the value of keeping a local business focus and recognised the efficiencies this delivered for their business. Seventy per cent intend to exhibit at this expo in 2012.

Recognising the 2009/10 trading conditions, NHBA kept the cost of entry at a minimum level. Going forward, larger premises will enable a greater marketing reach and continued growth of this annual event.

Any surplus monies generated will be allocated against additional business development programmes to enhance local business capability.

• Utilisation of available land for targeted industry sector growth

4.0 Activities and Member Services

4.1 Transport Management Four primary goals focused our Transport Management Area (TMA) programmes and activities in 2010/11, and will continue to provide the base for the enhanced 2012/13 programme.

1. Efficient Transport Management • Advanced planning and facilities: Provide leadership and advocacy in advanced planning for on going efficiency improvements to transport infrastructure and services through key relationships with Auckland Transport and its delivery partners – MAXX, NZTA • Real-time operations: Improve the day-to-day efficiency of local transport through real-time operations management; for example ‘Look Before Your Leave’ cameras.

2. Promote the use of diversified travel options

3. Increase awareness and interaction • Communications: Maintain regular communications with commuters and BID/TMA stakeholders; feature services offered and TMA achievements in internal and external media

• Area-wide information: Use of electronic communications media to provide efficient travel information direct to commuters via the Smart Transport Solution (STS) Resource Pack

4. Provide an effective organisational team to deliver and grow the TMA programme

• Business programmes: Provide guidance and tools to employers as partners in improving the use of diversified options for travel to/from work via the STS Resource Pack and one-to-one presentations

• Transport Committee Comprises BID members who assist with driving operational governance on behalf of their fellow NHBA members and NHBA Executive Committee

• School programmes: Ensure travel plans are in place at all educational institutions and partner with schools to maximise success of these programmes

• Project management staff • Secure ongoing grant and R&D funding

What Transport Management benefits will we deliver over the next 24 months?

CarpoolNow Scheme Launched November 2010, this programme has moved from targeting individual commuters through the use of strong consumer incentives for engagement, to becoming regarded as an ongoing programme for larger organisations within the BID area. Effective carpool management can assist with the granting of property resource consents, releasing valuable car parks for trade clients, and can improve the social interaction between commuters. We recognise that the promotion of NHBA’s CarpoolNow programme has increased the overall awareness of this transport option, with many of our larger employers noting that informal carpool activities have commenced since March 2011. It is our aim, through continued promotion and education, to convert some of these casual users to the Auckland Transport formal scheme so that they can take advantage of the NHBA’s Guaranteed Ride Home.

4.3 networking

During the 2010/11 year, over 1,000 members attended NHBA events. Our signature events are: NHBA After Five This event will remain an important aspect of the Networking and Business Development function for 2011 to 2013, with five events planned per calendar year.

NHBA Business Breakfast The potential impact and influence from the presentations given at these breakfasts extended beyond just the CEO level across our members’ businesses. Therefore, to ensure the depth of learning and benefit reached a deeper audience, these events were rebranded from CEO Breakfast to the NHBA Business Breakfast – September 2011. They remain aimed at the key leaders and influence’s but now reach second-level management also.

Sponsors have effectively used the NHBA Business Breakfast as an effective forum to announce innovation and new products and services or to reiterate their ongoing commitment to the North Harbour business area.

A minimum of five sponsored Business Breakfasts per financial year will be hosted for years ending 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2013.

NHBA Annual Golf Tournament

Mark Hawthorne

Dr Lester Levy

The inaugural NHBA Golf Tournament will take place 8 December 2011, at North Shore Golf Club. The purpose is to provide a competitive yet social backdrop for business development.

The format will provide sponsorship opportunities for those companies looking to raise their profiles within and beyond the BID area.

Any surplus monies generated from the entry fee will be donated to a North Harbour charity or worthy recipient.

It is expected that there will be a full field for the 2011 event.

5.0 Communications Leave cameras, Crime Prevention as well as Advocacy and Representation

WebSite

Online communication is a cost-effective and appropriate method of reaching a wide-ranging audience. Ongoing technological and business services developments within the wider Auckland online media space (e.g. Localist/ GrabOne/AucklandCouncil.govt.nz) dictated an upgrade for www.nhba.org.nz to ensure this platform remained accessible and valued by our members.

Connection between local business-tobusiness, retail and educational institutions was an important element of the redesign process.

This has been achieved through:

The 2012/13 year will see revenue being produced to support ongoing programme development through member advertising on www.nhba.org.nz.

Social Media

Twitter is our main social media tool as it enables us to broadcast short messages to business and key partners.

LinkedIn will become increasingly important during 2012/13. training and networking opportunities to be promoted to a wider audience

• An improved Business Directory – which enables members to upload a consumer or business-driven deal

• Greater knowledge as to the depth of services available to all NHBA members

Budgets 2012 and 2013 For the year to 30 June 2012 we have reasonable certainty of the range of programmes that are being funded by both our current NHBA targeted rate and other grant-based programmes from the Ministry of Justice and Auckland Transport.

For the year to 30 June 2013 we have made a number of assumptions as to the continuance of the current programmes or that alternative programmes of similar value will be identified and implemented. If that does not eventuate we will reduce our revenue and our contract costs accordingly to ensure our budget remains in balance.
