Poll: Do you know this building at Waikato Diocesan School for Girls?
A Hamilton school has been given the green light to demolish most of one of its most recognisable buildings, despite concerns about the loss of heritage.
Waikato Diocesan School for Girls applied for resource consent to knock down a large portion of Cherrington House, a nearly 100-year-old, earthquake-prone building. The plan is to make a new administration block that will retain the central part of the original western façade, expand the floor area about 20% and reference the original style.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?
Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.
