The world’s first Business Improvement Area (BIA) was created by businesses in the Bloor West Village in Toronto Canada in 1970. Since that time over 3,000 BIAs or BIDs have been launched successfully in main streets, cities and regional town centres across the world. Australia’s first BID has been launched in the Sydney Waterfront Area and new pilots are being established all over the State. The ABC Committee wants the Council and Government to support a test pilot in the Adelaide CBD to support a strong economy. See more information on the Strategy page of this site.
