Poll: Do you think amalgamating councils would be good for Waikato?
There’s a saying that goes something like this - the more things change, the more they stay the same - and when it comes to amalgamating the region’s district councils, nothing could be truer.
Talk of amalgamating the Waikato region’s multiple local bodies goes as far back as 1989, when around 850 around the country were amalgamated into 86 local authorities.

Have you tried this cafe?
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.
