In partnership with the Whanganui District Council, we’ve developed a Business Friendly Process that makes it simple for businesses to relocate to Whanganui.

The main idea behind the process is to streamline processes and remove obstacles that get in the way of business growth. We do this primarily through the Business Friendly Group, a cohort of relevant Council and Whanganui & Partners staff who work directly with business owners to provide assistance and advice.

‍

How does it work?

A business looking to expand or relocate in Whanganui will get in touch with Whanganui & Partners or the Whanganui District Council. You'll then be connected to the Whanganui & Partners Business Friendly facilitator.

Depending on your particular needs, your facilitator will identify which Council team members need to be involved in the project and will facilitate a meeting with the right people. This includes staff from our Property, Infrastructure, Building Control, Regulatory, Planning and Communications teams.

Going forward,the facilitator provides assistance, advice and maintain the relationship between you and the Council. The facilitator will remain involved until you have all the information and support you need to move forward with your project.
