About this Event
Business Central, the home of Wellington Chamber of Commerce, is proud to host Finance Minister Hon. Nicola Willis for a premium post‑Budget lunch at Parliament on Thursday 11 June, following the delivery of Budget 2026.
In an election year and amid global uncertainty, Budget carries increased importance for business leaders and will provide clarity on the Government’s economic priorities and fiscal direction.
This exclusive lunch will bring together senior business leaders and decision‑makers for timely insight into what the Budget 2026 means in practice for business, investment, and economic growth.
Taking place shortly after the Budget, this is an opportunity to hear directly from the Finance Minister as its impact begins to take shape.
Following her address, guests will have the opportunity to ask questions to the Minister on the issues that matter most to their businesses.
Beyond the briefing, this exclusive event offers an opportunity to connect with leaders from across Wellington’s business community in a distinctive parliamentary setting. With both tables and individual seats available, it is an ideal occasion to host clients, strengthen networks, or bring senior members of your team to one of the capital’s key business events following the Budget.
Seats are limited and demand is expected to be strong. Secure your place early to avoid disappointment.
