The Onehunga Business Association (OBA) oversees Onehunga’s brand and reputation, is an advocate for business across local and central government and provides proactive security for our members.
The Onehunga Business Association is investigating the expansion of the Business Improvement District (BID) boundary which currently includes mainly retail and hospitality businesses in the town centre. Many businesses sit outside the existing boundary and are missing out on the benefits of being part of the association.
