Poll: Did you know about this Melville project?
New giant “poo tanks”, each longer than three city buses and designed to hold two million litres of wastewater, are sitting empty at the Pukete waste water treatment plant after a major Hamilton City Council project blew its budget and timeline.
The city’s first underground bulk wastewater storage system set to go in Melville’s Collins Road opposite Deanwell Park has cost an extra $2.9 million, with the project completion delayed over a year after contractors discovered higher groundwater during excavations than anticipated.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
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.

One size fits all rates cap model ‘unworkable’, says Waipā DC
Waipā District Council says the government’s “one size fits all” proposal to cap rate rises could disproportionately harm fast-growing councils such as Waipā.
On Wednesday, Strategic Planning and Policy committee members debated the council’s submission on the proposed rates cap model.
Recommendation
Any recommendations please for someone who can knock out a dent in a car bumper.
