Do you think the council made the right call on restricting new developments?
Hamilton’s overloaded sewer pipes have scuttled about 750 potential developments in a little over two years, council figures show.
The sewerage situation prompted a city council clamp-down in 2023, effectively shutting down development in large parts of the city to avoid putting the system under extra pressure.
But the constraints - and the council’s response - seem to have “severely dented the confidence” of investors, city councillor Sarah Thomson says.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
