The Takapuna Beach Business Association held its Annual General Meeting at the Spencer on Byron Hotel, with Chair Julian Brown and CEO Terry Holt presenting their reports. Later in the evening, Tony Dench of BNZ was elected new Chair of the Board. Terry highlighted activities that took place during 2016-17 (including 31 TBBA events) and reported that Takapuna is the "number 3 most Instagrammed destination in New Zealand". He also reported a record level of sales for the town centre. With plans for improvements and further development on the horizon, things are looking good for the Shore's largest retail centre.
