We Say, You Say: Council Priorities
Hi Hamilton,
What should your city council prioritise this year?
Downtown Hamilton is set to get a major revamp with a 1,300 seat theatre set to be built.
Construction of the Waikato Regional Theatre is estimated to cost $74 million with the sod-cutting ceremony expected to take place in late March or early April.
The Hamilton City Council is set to open up its draft long-term plan for public consultation in March, outlining several key central city projects.

Poll: Does the building consent process need to change?
We definitely need homes that are fit to live in but there are often frustrations when it comes to getting consent to modify your own home.
Do you think changes need made to the current process for building consent? Share your thoughts below.

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?
Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.
A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
