Are you a first-home buyer? You could be in luck!
Hi neighbours,
Our city could be set to get about 2600 homes, and the city council has decided at least 10 per cent of them must be affordable.
This roughly translates to homes selling for about $500,000 or less that will be part of the new Hamilton subdivisions. To read more, click here.
If the Government accepts the condition, Mayor Andrew King wants the cheaper houses to be for first-home buyers.
So, what do you think of the news? Will this affect you? How do you think this will help out families in your community? Share your thoughts with us in the replies!

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
