Poll: Are you expecting lots of development and new businesses around the theatre?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The owner of Raglan Roast has secured another property on Hamilton’s “golden mile” to potentially expand the brand into what’s turning into a focal point of CBD.

At an auction day at Bayleys this week, the Victoria St title appeared among a list of farms, commercial properties and lifestyle blocks in front of a competitive crowd of about 60 would-be buyers.

Poll: Do you think a partial demolition is the right call?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

One of the most recognisable buildings at Waikato Diocesan School for Girls could be demolished, except for part of the façade.

The school is asking for resource consent to knock down most of the earthquake-prone Cherrington House as part of plans to build a larger, safer administration block.
