Our purpose
The Hutt Central Business Association exists to promote central Lower Hutt as a place to shop, eat, work, visit and invest, and to support the businesses that make it work through networking, advocacy, information and collaboration.
Our history
HCBA grew out of the Southend Business Group, which represented businesses at the southern end of the Lower Hutt city centre. As the city centre has changed, the group has broadened its focus to represent businesses across the wider central city, and has taken the name Hutt Central Business Association to reflect that.
Lower Hutt has a long history of business associations working for the city centre. HCBA builds on that tradition as a new, independent association.
