Hamilton rates.
I have just been reading why our rates are going through the roof once again,and most of it is due to this Peacocks subdivision that the Mayor had such a large interest in.
It is going to cost Hamilton $ 329 MILLION for the addition of 4000 homes.
That is an additional $6580 per household that we will have to pay,going on the 2013 census that there were approx 50,000 houses in Hamilton at $3000 per household.
This is just PART of the additions that they have factored in that we dont need.
12 million for a train station at Rotokauri so about 200 people can train to Auckland.
20 million for a community HUB at Rototuna, what the hell are they going to build,another Claudlands edifice.?
27 million for Hamilton gardens developent,didnt see that one in the budget I was OK at $10 a year but where did that come from.
52 Million for biking projects...are you crazy!
What has happened to sort out what NEEDS to be done for ESSENTIAL works ,pay off debt, THEN look at fluffy luxuries..
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
