Poll: What do you think of the wastewater-linked development restrictions?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Developers are questioning whether they want to invest in Hamilton as they let rip at councillors over wastewater related planning brakes that have kyboshed at least 750 projects worth tens of millions.

Matt Stark, who was behind the $25m-$30million MADE market project in Hamilton East told councillors it was intended to be a catalyst for growth but the halt on new builds due to over capacity pipes had stifled that expected flow-on.

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?

Poll: Have you tried this spot?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Tucked in the heart of Matamata’s farming and industrial business area, Pepper Street Kitchen defies expectations.

The cafe is owned by contracting giant J Swap and located in their Matamata workshop. Originally it was set up just for employees about six years ago, but once word got out around town about the stellar food they switched to the commercial operation.
