Porirua City has been transforming over the last 20 years, and business increasingly looks to our city for opportunities. With a unique and community-centric culture, we’re small enough to have deep connections while being big enough to help boost our businesses through connection and collaboration.

What we offer members

  • Networking and Collaboration:
    We are a place for businesses to connect and build relationships. 

  • Advocacy and Representation:
    We support policies that lead to business growth and prosperity for the city.

  • Workplace Training and Development:
    Through partnering we offer resources and education opportunities to help businesses grow and succeed.

We want to make it easy to do business in Porirua. In recent years the Porirua Chamber has demonstrated the value of business, and has ardently supported many well-known businesses while welcoming new ones.

How we’re here for you

The Chamber is committed to prosperity and employment in our city. By being a representing business in the city, we play a vital role in giving businesses a community to connect to and show that Porirua is ‘open for business.’

We believe in local representation and empowering communities to make decisions about their own development. We think local people should be making decisions for their area and helping guide their council’s financial incentives to grow.

In the face of rising rates and business challenges we responded to encourage to Council to see itself as a partner of business. You can read our submission in the summary of feedback on the Long-Term Plan here.

As networking opportunities become increasingly rare, the Chamber is a vital source of connection with other businesses. These opportunities we provide create a local foundation to grow and succeed together.
