Sharing for a friend who is currently living in Whitianga

Hey everyone,
My husband, 15month old daughter and I are currently on the look out for a rental. My husband has just accepted a job back in the Waikato and he will be starting in 2 weeks time. We are able to stay in between houses if a rental was to become available a little bit later. We also have 1 very well behaved cat. We would consider anything 2+ bedroom. We have very good references and have never missed a payment. The place needs to be warm and dry. If you have anything in mind that would be great

Hamilton rates.

Brian from Pukete

I have just been reading why our rates are going through the roof once again,and most of it is due to this Peacocks subdivision that the Mayor had such a large interest in.
It is going to cost Hamilton $ 329 MILLION for the addition of 4000 homes.
That is an additional $6580 per household that … View more
I have just been reading why our rates are going through the roof once again,and most of it is due to this Peacocks subdivision that the Mayor had such a large interest in.
It is going to cost Hamilton $ 329 MILLION for the addition of 4000 homes.
That is an additional $6580 per household that we will have to pay,going on the 2013 census that there were approx 50,000 houses in Hamilton at $3000 per household.
This is just PART of the additions that they have factored in that we dont need.
12 million for a train station at Rotokauri so about 200 people can train to Auckland.
20 million for a community HUB at Rototuna, what the hell are they going to build,another Claudlands edifice.?
27 million for Hamilton gardens developent,didnt see that one in the budget I was OK at $10 a year but where did that come from.
52 Million for biking projects...are you crazy!
What has happened to sort out what NEEDS to be done for ESSENTIAL works ,pay off debt, THEN look at fluffy luxuries..

About

As part of the finishing touches on the current stage of development on the Te Otamanui Walkway, the Community Group are planting more native plants and trees along the path's margins.

The Group need lots of volunteers to help plant - there are 3,500 to go in.
Last year, volunteers planted 2,500 in exactly 3 hours - so, if lots of people help, it is not a big task. And you meet like-minded, enthusiastic people - chatting and planting is mandatory.

When: Sunday 22nd July

Where: drive into the Coombes' Sand Quarry on Ngaruawahia Road (about 0.5km from the northern end of the village), and head all the way down the back to the gully. It will be signposted.

Time: 8.30 am to 12.30, irrespective of weather conditions. If there are plants left over at noon, we'll reschedule another session later in the month.

Bring: a spade, drink, chew bars etc.

Contact: Daryl, on 8297655
