About Us
The St Heliers Village Association serves to strengthen each member of our business whānau (family) and hapori (local community). We provide a wide range of services for members including the promotion of St Heliers as a business and shopping area, organising activities to attract people to the precinct as well as member meetings and regular member communication.
A key role of the St Heliers Village Association is the liaison and engagement with Auckland Council and other authorities to advocate for improvements to the area and lobby for the interest of the businesses.
2023 - 2026 Strategic Plan
The St Heliers Strategic Plan survey was commissioned by the St Heliers Village Association to understand the diversity of thoughts, opinions and ideas from people living and working within the St Heliers Bay Village area.
These insights will inform the St Heliers Strategic Plan 2023-2026, which will be subject to regular review.
