For those businesses who are not eligible for free membership, businesses can apply to be an Associate Member. There is an annual fee per year and all business applications are presented to our executive committee and approval is at their discretion.

We see Pukekohe as the business, commercial, and community hub of Franklin and aim to ensure it retains its distinctive country feel.

To make sure Pukekohe grows in a planned and sustainable way, Auckland Council and the Franklin Local Board have asked Eke Panuku to deliver urban regeneration to help create a vibrant, competitive, safe and walkable town centre, with better access to employment, education and healthcare.

Eke Panuku will be working in Pukekohe to deliver this for the next five to 10 years.

Eke Panuku's strategic plan for Pukekohe - Kia Puawai a Pukekohe - outlines how they will implement regeneration in the short, medium and long term.
