Lake Magellan
Hamilton City Council intends to convert Lake Magellan into a wetland.
Planting will make this recreational reserve and path a typical gully path which does not feel as safe for your children, walkers, cyclists and recreationists.
Council’s proposal creates stagnant water with smells and mosquitos.
The lake size will be less than 50% and mostly hidden from view.
If you are enjoying this open water feature, then protest by emailing council to not change the lake and leave the walkways and water views open.
When council would maintain Lake Magellan it will be an asset for all to enjoy.
Please give your feedback to the council before May 13.

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.
