A Yates Budding Young Gardener may have been gardening for a few years and know how to sow seeds, rustle up a few radishes and turn lemons into lemonade. Or even just starting out!
Yates Budding Young Gardener will become a Yates brand ambassador for one year AND win an amazing family trip for four, to the Gold Coast, Australia.
The five day trip will include flights, accommodation, a rental car and tickets to the Queensland Gardening Expo (if travelling in July) and a three day pass to Gold Coast theme parks - Warner Bros. Movie World, Sea World and Wet ‘n’ Wild.
The competition is open to all keen gardeners aged 5-15 years. Entries close 17th September - so enter your Budding Young Gardener now!

1. Passenger rail
Local Councils are supportive of a passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland.
NZTA have included funding in their National Land Transport Plan. I anticipate a further announcement after their Board Meeting on 5th October. A key to the success of this venture will be having a café and reliable WiFi or hotspotting service available, which will enable passengers to be productive while commuting.
This initial rail service will be a first step towards a modern passenger rail network that serves the golden triangle between Hamilton, Tauranga and Auckland.
This rail service will build on the good work done by the previous Government to facilitate population and economic growth between Hamilton and Auckland. Transport leads growth: I expect half a million people will settle in this corridor over the next 30 years, as Government, developers, and tourism operators turn their attention to this geographical area.
2. Affordable housing
42% of Hamiltonians are renting. Many would like to purchase a home, but have been finding it difficult due to rising house prices and related costs.
I appreciate the work Hamilton City Council have done around Special Housing Accords (SHAs). SHAs are a short-to-medium term tool to bring more housing to the market through an accelerated resource consent process. SHAs must have a portion of housing under $500k, making those houses eligible for KiwiBuild.
Five SHAs have passed through Hamilton City Council over the past few months, consisting of around 3,000 houses, and are currently being considered by Government.
In order to encourage home ownership, this Government are proactively exploring a range of options including grants and shared-equity schemes.
3. Community policing
Our police officers do a fantastic job in our community. I highly value the important work they do, often at the hard edge of our society. This coalition Government will fund an extra 127 police officers in the Waikato region.
We will also support a community policing model. We currently have five empty police stations in our city, plus empty stations in Cambridge and Raglan. Adding police resourcing will enable our area commanders to do more in our communities, preventing crime through building strong relationships with local families and communities.
4. Maori tourism
One of goals of the Waikato Tourism Agency is around the Kingitanga and New Zealand Wars. We are the sole region where the Maori King resides, and this creates huge tourism potential. The Kingitanga treasures (taonga) are currently valued at $300 million. I believe this tourism potential is the largest un-tapped opportunity in our region.
The Waikato River is our greatest natural asset. The Waikato River Regeneration Plan is an excellent piece of work, which identifies the key practical projects that will bring about environmental benefits for our water quality. I appreciate the work that has been done in recent years around opening this area up, as developers turn Hamilton to face the river.
5. Special projects
World class projects elevate a region, creating uplift for everyone. As a Government MP I bring key stakeholders together around collaborative opportunities, ensuring Government Ministers are aware of regional projects, and assisting in applying for central Government support. I brought seven Ministers to our region in July/August, and have a further eight booked in between now and the end of the year.
I am actively supporting a number of local projects, such as: Tainui Inland Port, Pacific Hub, Te Awa Lakes (an exciting housing and tourism project by Perry Group), Northern Districts Cricket training facility, Waikato University Sports Hub, Waikato Regional Theatre, a $50m sheep milk dryer at Innovation Park, Rural Medical School, returning All Black test matches to Hamilton, Rototuna Hub (including a swimming pool complex), and a range of health, education, and tech projects. Such is the positivity and growth in our region, new exciting projects are emerging all the time.
I have been working closely with the newly formed Te Waka (Waikato Regional Economic Development Agency), to pitch a number of key projects to Government for funding.
I appreciate all those who are working hard to ensure our region is the best place to live in New Zealand.

Have you heard of the Pātaka Kai that have been popping up in Hamilton over the last month? I am kaitiaki of the one in Tramway Rd and would like to invite as many people as possible to participate in the giving and sharing :)
Perhaps your business or work would like to participate, perhaps you have a contact for excess kai or perhaps you have excess fruit on your tree? - perhaps you would like to start a pātaka pantry in your neighbourhood?
I am happy for you to contact me if you have any amazing ideas on how we can keep this kaupapa/concept thriving! Communities doing community well!
What an awesome kaupapa we are on ‘Share what you can & take what you need’
3 weeks in to the kaupapa in Hamilton and we have some well established Pātaka, amazingly generous communities - and some well fed whanau!
‘Thank you & You’re welcome’ - to and from
all!!
If you are wanting of thinking about a koha - today and every day is a good day! Pick a pātaka kai (or more) and simply put kai in.
- a focus for the day could be fresh fruit and vege excess from the tree or garden you may have, or cans to withstand this weeks weather 😳😳
‘It is a take what you need, give what you can (when/if you can) kaupapa 🙂 no expectations, no judgment. Swapping is fine. If you don’t need to take, ka pai, if you do, ka pai! If you want to give, share, swap - also ka pai 💜The kaupapa is community doing community well, looking after our own by sharing excess kai.
Just because we don’t need today doesn’t mean we may not need next week 🙂
