Invest, move or start your business in Whanganui - we make it easy for you.

Working with Whanganui District Council, we streamline processes and remove obstacles that get in the way of business growth. We are able to do this through the Business Friendly Group, a cohort of the relevant council and Whanganui & Partners staff who work directly with business owners to provide assistance and support.

How does it work?

If your business wants to establish in or relocate to Whanganui, the Whanganui & Partners facilitated Business Friendly Group can help. The Business Friendly Group helps businesses by identifying all the processes a new venture needs to work through, and gathering the relevant Whanganui District Council experts together in one place to get things underway.

 

A Business-Friendly Group facilitator will identify which council team members need to be involved in your project and will organise a meeting with the right people. This meeting can include staff from Property, Infrastructure, Building Control, Regulatory, Planning and Communications teams – or whoever is relevant to your business’ needs.

 

Once you have met with the Business Friendly Group, your Whanganui & Partners facilitator will keep in touch with you to make sure your project is progressing.
