The newsletter provides an update on the results of the Panmure Business Association's 2016 business survey. Key findings include that overall business confidence seems positive, with 60% of businesses reporting the same or better trading compared to the previous year. Security perceptions and satisfaction with the PBA's communication and services are high. The newsletter also highlights two local businesses: CopyStop introducing new dimensional letter signage, and Feng En Mao Cai now offering an English menu to introduce more customers to Sichuan cuisine.

CHRIS SUTTON - TOWN CENTRE MANAGER
Firstly, thank you to the 136 businesses that took the time to complete the Business Survey; we appreciate your valuable
feedback. It was fantastic to see that overall business trading in Panmure is going strong.
Such a great response from the participating businesses has provided valuable insights to assist the Board in making sure
the targeted Business Improvement District rate is spent wisely, as well as to help the Board plan for future projects.
Your feedback, both positive and negative has been collated and analysed by Renu Ryder, with the full survey results given
to the Board in July for them to read and comment on at the August Board meeting. In this issue of the Panmure Business
Newsletter, we have published some of the more straightforward results. We aim to collate and respond to the comment’s
given and to highlight any feedback received from the Board in a future newsletter.
On a personal note, I was impressed that the average length of time for businesses to be trading in our community was 11
years and that 60% of the respondents wanted a paper-based ‘Business Directory,’ confirming that our team is on the right
track, as that is one of the projects we are currently working on.
Please don’t wait for our next survey to let us know what you think! You can drop by anytime during business hours, give
me a call on 527 6389 or send me an email at manager@panmure.net.nz
Worth a mention, is that recently I was
asked to speak at the graduation of 64 older
Chinese new migrant students that had just
completed their very first course in learning
basic English. The oldest student was in
her 80’s and did not miss a single English
class during the course. It was terrific to
see age being no barrier to learning a new
language.
The Chinese New Settlers Services Trust, at
20 – 22 Clifton Court offers a diverse range
of social and educational services. The aim
of the English class is to assist new migrants
with their settlement into the New Zealand
way of life. The course runs twice a year.
If your business lies within the Panmure Mainstreet area (Queens Road, Ellerslie/Panmure Highway and adjacent side
streets) you are automatically a Member of Panmure Business Association and are paying .02c in the dollar of your general
rates towards funding the Association. How the combined money is spent is determined by elected board members, any of
whom would be happy to talk with you, tell you more about who they are, and hear your comments or suggestions.

Comment:
There was a marked increase in customers coming from outside Panmure and a solid increase
in both new customers frequenting businesses within the area and those deemed ‘regular
customers’
The PBA will:
• Discuss with the PBA Board for further feedback/comment
• Determine whether there any ‘quick wins’ from this survey. Are there any ideas worth investigating
further?
• Review PBA Strategic and Tactical Plans in light of survey insights/Board feedback
• We will report back on the Board’s feedback and address comments made by survey respondents in an
upcoming newsletter
So that’s this year’s survey done and dusted. It was 2012 when we did the last one. We’ll do it again more
regularly now that there is a team in place to make it happen.
Thanks again to all respondents; we really value your opinions.
So, where to from here? What are our next steps?

Drop into CopyStop and meet Raj. He’s been in the
industry for 12 years and started his own business
in Panmure in 2013, so he’s well established here.
Not one to stay with the status quo, Raj has
recently introduced dimensional letter signage
to his portfolio, to further develop his business.
He spent six months learning this special cutting
technique, and his customers are already enjoying
the benefits.
Dimensional letter signs are for indoor/outdoor
use and are made from materials such as PVC,
acrylic, wood, ACM, foam and corflute. They can
withstand the elements, and outdoor dimensional
signs are a great way to instantly enhance your
business’ look and aesthetic appeal.
Raj can also work his magic with car wraps
(signage) and window
protection, which
can strengthen glass
windows, so they are
not easily broken.
Perfect!

Feng En Mao Cai opened its doors 18
months ago. Back then there was no
English menu or signage. However,
since the recent Tastes of Panmure
promotion, they realised that they
want to introduce this delectable
food to Kiwis too. So now English is
on the menu, literally!
So what exactly is Mao Cai for the
uninitiated?
Mao Cai means hotpot for one,
hotpot for many. In Sichuan dialect
Mao Cai refers to the process of blanching ingredients by moving
the ingredient-filled colander up and down rapidly in boiling water.
The cooked ingredients are then served in a huge bowl of fiery red
soup with seasonings like ginger, garlic, black soy bean, chilli bean
paste, and of course, Sichuan peppercorns.
Feng En Mao Cai recently introduced these sumptuous new dishes
to their menu: Sichuan Style Won Tons, Sichuan Style Dumplings
and Five Colour Steam Dumplings. Give
your tastebuds a treat by trying one
today!

Unichem Panmure Pharmacy is
part of the community effort to
prevent the spread of rheumatic
fever by treating and swabbing
sore throats in children for free,
seven days a week.
Sore throats are common in
children. Most sore throats are
caused by viruses and need no
treatment other than pain relief.
Sometimes children can get ‘strep
throat’. A rare complication of
strep throat is rheumatic fever.
Māori and Pacific children are
most at risk of rheumatic fever,
and should see a doctor with any
sore throat.
• rheumatic fever starts with
a sore throat that is known as
‘strep throat’ – a throat infection
caused by a bacteria called Group
A streptococcus
• most sore throats get better on
their own, but if strep throat is
not treated with antibiotics it can
cause rheumatic fever in at-risk
children
• because rheumatic fever is such
a serious illness, all sore throats
in Māori and Pacific children and
young people (aged 4 and above)
need to be checked
• if your child has strep throat,
they’ll be given antibiotics to
clear up the infection before it
can develop into rheumatic fever
• if your child is given antibiotics
it’s important that they take the
full 10-day course to stop them
from developing rheumatic fever.
So come and see the pharmacists
any time, 7 days a week at
Unichem Panmure Pharmacy. No
appointment is necessary. We
care for our community.

One of the roles of the Panmure
Business Association (PBA) is to
advocate for positive changes that
will support the growth and financial
viability of our business community.
Recently,thePBApreparedadocument
for the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local
Board and Auckland Transport that
asked questions about the informal
‘park and ride’ area that has grown
substantially over the past six months.
This informal park and ride area is on
vacant land, bordered by Jellicoe and
Mountain Roads and Potaka Lane.
From a public transport user’s view,
the fact that so many people are using
the area to park and catch a train at
the Panmure Station is a good thing.
From an economic development
view, this prime land so close to a
train station does not add anything
at all to the vitality of our town, nor
encourages vital economic investment
and development.
“The Panmure Business Association
has stated for many years now that we
do not want to see cars lined up all day
in these park and ride spaces, what we
want is to see property investment on
those sites,” says Chris, Town Centre
Manager.
Some quotes from Chris, from the
PBA 2016 submission on the Auckland
Council Annual Budget:
“Regularmaintenanceisneededonthe
sites and it is a common experience for
the drivers to return to their cars only
to find that they have been blocked in.”
“Can you provide a greater
understanding as to what the planners
are thinking…
- who is maintaining this area?
- what is being planned for this
area?
- when will we see this area being
developed?”
Just two weeks after sending in
the request for more information
to Auckland Transport, Chris had a
visit from Nazim and Alok, Auckland
Transport Officers, to discuss the
town’s concerns. The outcome of
the meeting was that the questions
were addressed; in regards to seeing
development of this land, that will be
sadly some way off into the future,
there will be some form of regular
maintenance and a formal review of
the park and ride area has been added
to Auckland Transport’s work plan.

In the early 1990’s, as part of the
town centre upgrade, the Panmure
Roundabout sign and two community
noticeboards were installed. The
theme reflected the massive growth to
the township of Panmure in the 1950’s,
hence the space odyssey themed
roundabout sign and the juke box
themednoticeboardswiththeircurved
frames. Over the last few years, the
physical structure of the noticeboards
had decreased dramatically to a point
where they leaked and one of the
hinges had rusted right through. The
Board decided to replace the three
noticeboards with a design that was
more modern and easy to use. They
were very keen to install a digital sign
at the traffic lights but permission from
Auckland Transport was not granted,
due to the site being so close to the
traffic lights. The noticeboard next to
DTR is for community notices and the
Dove Arcade and Urban Cuts signs are
for events and promotions. Currently
there are four large sector-specific
advertising posters on
display.
Alan Duncan, PBA
Board member and
owner of the Loft
Dance Studio in Korma
Lane, contributed to
this project with his
engineering knowledge
and suggested a ‘relief’
pattern on the metal
surface that reflected
existing design within
our town centre.
The Board settled
on a pattern
from the façade
of the building
that runs from
Gentle Dental
to Supavalue
Supermarket.
Should you
wish to have a
community notice
posted on the
board they are
updated every
weekend. Please
kindly supply
fliers in A4 or
A3 format, for good visual impact and
drop them into the PBA at 16 Clifton
Court at least a few weeks before any
event.

In our recent Panmure Business

improved since last year. Great to
hear our businesses are benefiting
from our investment in CCTV and
our security patrol.
One of the comments from the

was “Bring back criminal photos.”
We need to gently remind
businesses that identifying and
prosecuting criminals is the role
of the NZ Police, not the Business

own the town. Aggressive and dangerous
behaviour was caught on camera in
Dunlop Lane but for us to ‘do anything’
with the footage, the victim must report
the incident to the Police. So far this has
not been done.
Because Dunlop
Laneisaquickwayto
get to the Panmure
Station, we have
recorded a number
of criminal incidents
happening to people
on the way to catch
a train, involving
vehicles and young
people. We believe
that many of these
perpetrators then
head to Sylvia Park Mall. In fact, we were
visited by Constable Doug early last week
and he expressed his relief to “get out
of Sylvia Park” where the Police are kept
very busy with shoplifters and thefts from
vehicles.
