Business Improvement District (BID)

A Business Improvement District (BID) is a partnership between a local authority and a defined local business community to develop projects and services that benefit the trading environment and which align with the local authority’s objectives.

HastingsA Business Improvement District (BID) is a partnership between a local authority and a defined local business community to develop projects and services that benefit the trading environment and which align with the local authority’s objectives. A BID is supported by a targeted rate, levied on and collected from non-residential properties within the defined boundary.  BIDs enable local business groups, which have a clear mandate from their communities, to develop a range of services that complement existing Council services and improvements. BIDs can also help districts speak with a more effective collective voice, giving them more influence on the development of Council strategies and projects to achieve better outcomes for their community.

A BID is generally managed by a Business Association and supported by a targeted rate, levied on, and collected from non-residential (business) properties within the defined boundary.

The Business Associations are accountable to their memberships for the application of the BID targeted rate and alignment with their approved annual plan.
