Henderson & Central Park

A thriving business ecosystem at the heart of West Auckland

Henderson and Central Park contribute significantly to West Auckland’s economic strength, supporting thousands of jobs and serving as a destination for both local residents and visitors from across the region. With strong transport links, established commercial precincts, and continued investment, the area remains an important engine for business activity and opportunity.

The diversity of businesses operating here is one of its greatest strengths. From independent operators to large employers, the local economy is built on collaboration, adaptability, and a shared commitment to serving the West.

This dynamic environment is what makes connection essential, and why a collective approach to visibility, advocacy, and support matters.

A connected business ecosystem

Business West is more than a business association. It is a connected community of over 1,200 businesses and 1,000 property owners, representing more than three billion dollars in commercial capital value across West Auckland.

Henderson and Central Park bring together a diverse mix of retail, hospitality, industrial, and professional services, creating a true one-stop hub for business activity and everyday community life. Strong transport links along the North-Western motorway, combined with close proximity to the Waitākere Ranges, give the area a distinctive balance of commercial opportunity and natural amenity.

This scale, diversity, and connectivity are what make the West a powerful place to do business — and why connection across the business community matters.
