Poll: Do you like the idea being able to pay more to get a quicker building consent?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

They might be about to go into battle for the right to rule Hamilton, but Sarah Thomson and Tim Macindoe were the picture of co-operation and civility in giving city developers a helping hand.

And it’s a consensus that could prove profitable for the Hamilton City Council in more ways than one, with the possibility of selling intellectual property - in the form of a working two-tier building consents process - to other councils for use as a template.

Poll: How are fuel prices affecting you?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

We’re taking the bus or the train and trucking companies are getting slammed with price rises to simply stay on the road.

Welcome to the world of $3 a litre plus for fuel.

As the average price of 91 octane petrol across the country rose to $3.32/L at the start of the working week and politicians nervously eyed storage figures, Waikato households feeling the strain were offered little but hope.
