Poll: How do you feel about the revaluation and its impact on your house?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A revaluation shaved $215,000 off the capital value of the Smiths’ home and has them worried it could drag down the price they eventually sell for.

Homes around the city were recently revalued for rating purposes and Hamilton City Council announced an average drop of 12% between September 2021 and September 2024, following house price drops over the same period.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
