Poll: Do you think the idea will work?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The Government will today unveil a radical new plan to underwrite construction of new private houses, as high interest rates and an economic downturn make it tough for developers to get finance for new projects.

The new time-limited scheme is designed to de-risk developments, making finance easier to obtain for developers to start building. Developers often have to pre-sell a proportion of dwellings in any development in order to secure finance, which has become much more difficult in the current economic downturn.

Have you tried this cafe?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Ethos Cafe isn’t just serving food - it’s rethinking the entire food system. From growing its own produce to composting kitchen waste back into the soil, this cafe is closing the loop, one plate at a time.

“We grow our own food, bring it into the kitchen, and whatever’s left goes back into our garden,” says head chef Chris McIntosh.
