We're celebrating 150 years of Waikato Times!
Today marks 150 years of the Waikato Times, of which Hamilton Press is a sister paper.
As part of the celebrations, we've gifted $20K towards the region's new theatre, so Waikato people can enjoy shows in Hamilton.
Read more about the theatre plans here, or about a delivery driver who has been bringing the paper to the people for almost 40 years here.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
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.

Free Website
Hello 👋 I’m looking to practice building websites and enhancing existing ones that could use a refresh. If you’d like a website for your business or want to improve an existing one, feel free to reach out!
I do work full-time, so my availability may be a bit limited, but if the project is something straightforward and within my skillset, I’d be happy to do it free of charge.
Let me know if you're interested!
