About the Karori BID
The Karori Business Association (KBA) is a local business organisation focused on developing and enhancing the success of Karori / Marsden Village for the benefit of the wider community.
By uniting the efforts of local businesses, fostering a spirit of collaboration, and coordinating local initiatives, the organisation can help ensure Karori thrives into the future.
The Association is funded by way of a targeted rate. It is important to note that only buildings currently paying commercial rates within the areas pay the targeted BID rate. The building owner pays the targeted rate, they then have
the option to on charge it to their tenants
