Poll: Do you think Te Rapa needs more food options?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Food joints are growing on the old industrial sites of Te Rapa.

Construction has begun to transform 675 Te Rapa Rd from the old Total Hire car park to a drive-through Popeyes and Starbucks that is set to open in 2025.

Meanwhile, a new local dumpling house is set to open right opposite it from Monday.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.
