Executive Committee

The Executive Committee of North West Country has up to twelve members, including a chair, who are elected at the Annual General Meeting for a three-year term, and a non-voting representative from the Rodney Local Board. The executive meets regularly to deliver our Strategic & Business Plan, and approve payments and projects.

The executive committee is responsible for ensuring the business association has the appropriate governance and risk management oversight for the level of BID targeted rate grant monies received each year. The responsibilities of the committee are to:

govern the association in terms of advancing its objectives relating to the BID programme
ensure compliance with the association’s constitution and any other applicable law
fulfill the obligations and compliance set out in the NWC Executive Committee Charter and the Auckland Council Business Improvement District Policy.
oversee the management, operations and affairs of the association
ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the BID-operating business association including, sufficient ongoing cashflow to cover the associations’ responsibilities and commitments
ensure all parties (including BID affiliates) have an opportunity to be involved in the governance, management, and/or to participate in the BID programme
encourage BID affiliates to become registered full members of the association
ensure Auckland Council is made aware of any perceived or real/current or potential issue that could impact on the BID programme

Executive committees are charged to ensure that every BID affiliate can participate in making decisions either:

directly through being a registered member of the association, voting on a decision e.g., AGM/SGM
indirectly by engaging/speaking with an elected executive committee member or the BID manager.

Committee members represent the townships (Kaukapakapa, Helensville, Parakai, Waimauku, Huapai/Kumeu, and Riverhead) that make up the Business Improvement District and you are strongly encouraged to make contact with them about any issues, or ideas you have to assist businesses and members. Alternatively, you can contact us directly if you wish the executive committee to consider anything at an upcoming meeting.
