Are you a first-home buyer? You could be in luck!
Hi neighbours,
Our city could be set to get about 2600 homes, and the city council has decided at least 10 per cent of them must be affordable.
This roughly translates to homes selling for about $500,000 or less that will be part of the new Hamilton subdivisions. To read more, click here.
If the Government accepts the condition, Mayor Andrew King wants the cheaper houses to be for first-home buyers.
So, what do you think of the news? Will this affect you? How do you think this will help out families in your community? Share your thoughts with us in the replies!

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
