City signals 10%-plus rates rises

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Hamiltonians face 10%-plus city rates rises for at least the next three years due to big cost increases, council leaders warn.

It comes as the mayor and councillors start grappling with budgets for the 2024-34 long term plan (LTP), acutely aware that big rises will likely rile residents.

Mayor Paula Southgate said she was “super gutted” to put this to residents but the council had no choice.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
