This year has flown by, and suddenly we’re preparing for the festive season and summer months that show Browns Bay’s town centre and beach at their very best.

At our recent AGM, we presented the Browns Bay Business Association’s refreshed Strategic Plan 2025 – 2029, along with a detailed action plan to guide the rollout of new initiatives aimed at strengthening an enhancing the town centre’s economy.

We also confirmed our 2025 – 2026 Executive Board, a committed group of local business leaders who bring energy, insight, and passion for Browns Bay’s future.

Our Executive Committee and myself are always available to talk with you about anything related to Browns Bay, from business concerns to community ideas. We’re delighted to have a full board again this year, and it’s encouraging to see the growing interest from local business owners wanting to get involved and support the success of our town centre.

As the year winds down, I hope your summer offers a gently pause – sunny days, quiet moments, and plenty of reasons to smile. May the break bring you a chance to unwind and return refreshed for an exciting year ahead in Browns Bay.
