Important info re: Fiordland Housing Project

We’re excited to present a detailed update on the Fiordland Housing Project. The past three months have been a period of significant activity for our volunteer Board. Please remember that the online project hub remains active and continues to be refreshed with the latest information and imagery to this proposal.

Supporting the Fiordland business community.

______

When Fiordland businesses join the Southland Business Chamber they are investing in their business, their people, the overall wellbeing of the community, and helping the Fiordland Business Association (FBA) achieve their purpose.  

Formed in 2021, FBA is an inclusive member group of business owners and managers who interact with local business, community groups and organisations alongside the general community to encourage and support community growth in Fiordland.


Purpose – Why FBA exists

  • Prosper: Actively support health and well-being of our business community.
  • Sustain: Consider long-term benefits for the wider community in all decisions.
