Potential for faster than expected interest rate cuts from this year is a ray of hope for Hamilton’s sluggish economy but there’s considerable caution from a senior city specialist on the speed of any cuts.

A just-released council report on Hamilton for 2023 contains a range of positive news and says the local economy had “remarkable resilience” last year - but it warns the outlook is for “little if any” economic growth this calendar year.

Do you know why this statue took a while to repair?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A bronze chief has had $15K in repairs more than a decade after his taiaha was broken and his patu taken.

The statue, Te Rangatira, was created by sculptor Michael Weir for the Waihī Streetscape 2000. He was commissioned by the Hauraki District Council to create a rangatira (Māori chief) … View more
A bronze chief has had $15K in repairs more than a decade after his taiaha was broken and his patu taken.

The statue, Te Rangatira, was created by sculptor Michael Weir for the Waihī Streetscape 2000. He was commissioned by the Hauraki District Council to create a rangatira (Māori chief) holding a taiaha (spear) and “striking the ground from which water gushed”.

Finding a company that could do the repairs was part of the reason for the delay, the council said.
