What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

How long it’ll take depends on who you ask and you can measure it in years, elections, or Rugby world cups.

But Hamilton City will eventually be home to more people than Wellington City - likely in somewhere between 24 or 34 years according to Statistics NZ and Waikato University.

What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Councillors working to a June 2028 deadline for new water model

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The clock is ticking and the pressure is on as Hamilton City Council elected members were told whatever water delivery service they chose, it must wash its face financially.

Councillors have until December 12 to come up with a preferred option for water delivery, which will then be open for public consultation.
