Poll: Do you think international flights will bring bigger airport dividends for councils?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

The value of Hamilton Airport - and the 50% stake held by Hamilton City Council - has likely increased “significantly” according to one Hamilton councillor, but that doesn’t mean a share sale should be on the horizon, at least not yet.

Councillor and Economic Development chair Ewan Wilson said that in the wake of the announcement that international flights were returning to Hamilton, “the value of the airport has increased significantly”.

Poll: Are you a confident swimmer?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton’s Dianne June always regretted not learning how to swim and she doesn’t want others missing out on the important life skill so she’s making a substantial donation to Stuff’s safe swimming campaign.

Stuff, supported by the Waikato Times, with backing from Water Safety New Zealand, launched its safe swimming campaign in October.
