About the Business Improvement District (BID)
Destination KRL (KRL Business Association) is a local business organisation focused on developing and enhancing the success of Kilbirnie, Rongotai and Lyall Bay for the benefit of the wider community.
By uniting the efforts of local businesses, fostering a spirit of collaboration, and coordinating local initiatives, the organisation can help ensure Kilbirnie, Rongotai and Lyall Bay thrive into the future.
Destination KRL is funded by way of a targeted rate. It is important to note that only buildings currently paying commercial rates within the areas pay the targeted BID rate. The building owner pays the targeted rate, they then have the option to on charge it to their tenants.
