Business West exists to champion, connect, and strengthen West Auckland businesses.
We believe local businesses are the backbone of strong communities, but too often they are time-poor, under-represented, and navigating change alone. Our role is to remove friction, amplify visibility, and create meaningful opportunities for businesses to grow, together.
Mission and Vision
The Mission of our Association is to stimulate economic prosperity in West Auckland, to encourage the business community and commercial property owners in supporting each other, our Youth, and our people to grow and to achieve.
Business West’s vision and objectives are – a prosperous local economy, supported by strong alliances and engagement between thriving local businesses that add value. To promote a ‘one voice’ belief, an access point to an established business precinct, and to advance a meaningful pathway for cooperation and collaboration within OUR WEST.

In December 2015, the CPBA was reinvigorated, and an energised board was established. This board was formed from various business sectors, again voluntary, and with a renewed drive to ‘get things done’.

2017
The Central Park and Henderson-Lincoln Metro Business Associations were merged in 2017 following special general meetings for each association.
In 2020, CPHBA achieved the Business Improvement District (BID) programme. A BID programme is a local economic development initiative run by a business association in partnership with Auckland Council. A BID is a specified commercial area – town centre, industrial area, or a combination – designated for a targeted rate, with boundaries agreed by the local board and business association.
