Business Improvement District (BID) is a business-led and funded body formed to improve a defined area. It is a formal place management model commonly adopted overseas. The pilot BID programme will enable the Government to assess the feasibility of the BID model and the possibility of enacting legislation in the future to formally empower the private sector to take ownership of their precincts
