Poll: Do you use all-day CBD parking?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

On-street all-day parking rates at some central city locations will become cheaper for workers and other long-stay visitors parking in central Hamilton.

Starting on Monday, Hamilton City Council introduced lower pricing at selected all-day parking locations where occupancy is below 85% making it more cost-effective for those looking to park in the city longer every day.

Indian Ink Theatre Company return with the premiere of Balloon Dog; a deeply affecting and timely new work inspired by one of India’s most beloved stories. Following a sell out preview season, this highly anticipated production from Indian Ink embarks on its Aotearoa tour to Whangārei, Hamilton, Tauranga and Auckland from 16 May – 20 June.

An adaptation of Kabuliwala by Rabindranath Tagore, Indian Ink swaps 1800s Calcutta for 21st century Auckland in a beautifully tender tale that reveals we’re more alike than we think. In true Ink style, it blends serious laughter with music and dance that lifts the room. Book Now!
