In his annual report, Dean said although Warkworth was at the beginning of exciting times, it was critical that businesses work together.
“There needs to be careful planning and we need to be thoughtful in how we go forward,” he said.
He summarised a busy year for association volunteers who had organised numerous events and networking opportunities, participated in several Council consultations and were involved in the push for a Warkworth Structure Plan.
The guest speaker at the meeting was Warkworth planner Burnette Macnicol, who talked about growth in the area.
