The Journey of Manukau: Heart of the South

The Manukau Business Association is one of fifty BIDS (Business Improvement Districts) in Auckland set up to look after the interests of businesses and property owners in the Manukau business district, with the vision of bringing the ‘Heart’ back to Manukau

The Association wants Manukau to become a destination and to bring it’s mojo back. They engage a design agency to create a brand new, modern brand for Manukau

There are plans for Manukau: Heart of the South entry point signage, murals, service box beautifications, directional signage and much, much more. Manukau is fast becoming a destination that we can be proud of.

Manukau: Heart of the South was born. The colours represent the diversity of our cultures and the shape of the waka is a reflection of our whakapapa.
