Have your say on pokies in South Waikato
The South Waikato District Council is currently reviewing its Class 4 gambling venues policy. You can you’re your say on its proposed policy until Friday 4 March.
What is the council proposing? The South Waikato District Council is proposing to retain its sinking lid policy. This means the Council will not grant consent for the establishment of any new class 4 venues, TAB venues, or gaming machines. Their relocation and clubs merger clauses remain unchanged in this policy review.
We are encouraging the Council to retain its sinking lid policy and prohibit relocations or club mergers. A sinking lid is the best policy to control the growth of gambling and minimise harm.

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
