Children's Museum for Hamilton and the greater Waikato Area
Hi, I am the author of the submission for a children’s museum based in Founders Theatre. I would like to discuss the ideas with local families to identify what things they might enjoy as well as opinions on the operation of the museum.
I am not looking for discussion on Founders per se, Hamilton Council is offering ample opportunity for that.
The children’s museum is heavily orientated to community and a place for families to enjoy themselves in an entertaining and educational way.
If you would like to share some ideas then email me at brucecresswell3@gmail.com and I will contact you to set up a convenient time to meet as well as send a copy of the submission (made to council) to you
Children’s museums are places where children learn through play and exploration in environments designed just for them. Reflecting their diverse communities, children’s museums create playful, interactive learning experiences. In an increasingly complex world, children’s museums provide a place where all kids can learn through play with the caring adults in their lives. Most exhibits allow visitor handling creating entertaining and educational opportunities largely without the use of technology.
Mayor’s use of poo emoji costs ratepayers over $4k
South Waikato mayor Gary Petley will make a public apology, and has sworn off social media after admitting he got it wrong when an online dispute turned sour.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
