When I heard there would be changes to the consent rules around building sleep outs, I was excited. I've always wanted a tea house in my back yard... a garden room where I can do a bit of potting, maybe read a book, or just cool off in the shade.

Turns out it's not quite as simple as a trip to the hardware store to burn a hole in your credit card. If you're thinking of putting something up on your property, check in here first:

Luxury lodges, usually full of overseas tourists and facing the off-peak winter season are slashing prices as much as 60 per cent, making a night at these lodges a little more accessible.
The University of Waikato thinks so - although students will still be able to physically attend tutorials, workshops, seminars and lab classes.
Keeping the courses available for international students is said to be part of the reason for the decision.

Hamilton City Council is to extend the minimum wage of $20 per hour to all staff employed by the organisation’s contractors. The cost is unknown but the best guess is between $258,000 to $859,000 per year to be funded through rates or through debt.

Section 10 of Local Government Act details the purpose of local government is—
• to enable democratic local decision-making and action by, and on behalf of, communities; and
• to meet the current and future needs of communities for good-quality local infrastructure, local public services, and performance of regulatory functions in a way that is most cost-effective for households and businesses.
How is the living wage (above the Government’s) most cost effective for households and businesses?
and
How is it on behalf of communities?
Good-quality, of the performance of regulatory functions, means infrastructure, services, and performance that are—
• efficient;
• effective; and
• appropriate to present and anticipated future circumstances.
How is the living wage to contractors efficient, effective and appropriate for the ratepayer particularly in these austere and worrying times?
Those who voted for this lose sight of representative responsibility and fail to represent the residents and ratepayers who took the effort to vote and in fact all of Hamilton residents.
Some contractors do not contact solely to Council, their employees also work at other locations for other contracts.
How is this to be policed?
Oh that’s right it is only other people’s money – watch out for the spend-up on ‘nice to haves’ during the annual plan.
Buckle up it is going to be a rough ride, particularly in these austere and worrying times.

If anyone has ever wanted to be involved in Toastmasters, now would be a great time to visit the Dinsdale Toastmasters Club, we have a special deal going for the month of June only.
Normally you would get 2-4 free meetings before making a decision if you wish to join but as we are part way through June already there is only the opportunity for 1-2 free meetings to see if Toastmasters is right for you.
The usual fee for June (on a pro rata system) is $115 including the one off new membership fee But for this month only the total fee for the next 3 months is $79. so a great time to join up, a saving of $36.
We started back on the 9th June to the Western Community centre in Hyde Ave, Nawton. Meet every Tues for 7.15pm start.
any queries don't hesitate to ph/text me on 0273901487.
We look forward to meeting you soon.
