BA5 hosted by Coastlands

The Kāpiti Business Chamber invites local businesses and retailers to its August BA5, hosted by Coastlands Shopping Centre.

This is also an opportunity to meet and network with other local businesses, hear what’s happening locally, and enjoy catering and drinks in a relaxed after-work setting.
