SUMMARY:BA5 Hosted by Port Nikau 2.0
DESCRIPTION:Due to overwhelming demand for this BA5\, Port Nikau are delighted to be hosting a second event for those that were not able to secure a space for the first time around. \nA new\, high-quality residential development is coming to Whangārei and the team at Port Nikau are really excited to share it with you. \nThe future of residential development looks vastly different to that of 10 or even 20 years ago. The days of the quarter acre residential section are evolving\, as access to land becomes more difficult and people are choosing to live in more sustainable\, connected communities where resources\, such as green spaces\, can be shared\, rather than everyone needing their own backyard. \nThe Master Plan for Port Nikau’s 100-hectare modern waterfront community has been thoughtfully designed to create a relaxed urban lifestyle offering convenience and connection. Residential Stage 1 Arataki marks the beginning of this exciting development. \nPlease come along to hear from the team behind Port Nikau about the Master Plan\, planned community amenities and connections to Whangārei as well as plans for the future including a town centre and sporting facilities. This development is set to be a great asset to Whangārei and marks an exciting time in the growth of\, and investment in\, the city. \nPlease come along to what is sure to be a very informative BA5 and enjoy the usual good chats\, drinks\, and nibbles. \n\nAbout Port Nikau | The Port Nikau Development represents over a decade of planning\, with the vision to create a new way of living for Whangārei. The development represents 100 hectares of residential\, commercial and marine opportunities\, which will come to life in the next 5-10 years. \nMore – www.portnikau.co.nz

DESCRIPTION:India is a strategic priority for New Zealand because of its growing global influence\, economic scale\, and regional importance. The New Zealand-India FTA will create valuable opportunities for New Zealand and Indian exporters to expand two-way trade. It also supports the Government’s ambitious goal of doubling the value of exports in 10 years. \nThe FTA provides New Zealand goods and services exporters with: \n\nsignificant tariff preferences on key exports;\npreferential access to India’s middle class which within five years will provide a larger market than the entire population of the EU or ASEAN ;\na more level playing field with key competitors who already have FTAs or other advantages in India\, including Australia\, UK\, and Chile among others; and\ngreater opportunity for diversification and to grow exports\n\nWho is this event for?  \nAny Northland based business professional or owner looking to explore the opportunities that a Free Trade Agreement with India brings. \nJoin us to hear from Indian business representatives calling in from India\, learn about a proposed trade delegation to India\, talk in person with the New Zealand based consulate team and the Indian Consulate General and grow your understanding of India’s dynamic market potential
