Is your group, organisation or club looking for a speaker?
ATTENTION GROUPS, ORGANISATIONS AND CLUBS! I'm on a mission and I need your help!
Our lives are affected every day by decisions made by your city's Mayor and Councillors - people elected every 3 years to represent you. In spite of this, voter turnout for the Hamilton Council elections has been steadily declining. And next year, a new crop of candidates will put their names forward.
I have put together a fun and informative talk where I share insights into why people don't vote and what can be done about it. I will come to you. Send me a message or contact me at: angela.oleary@council.hcc.govt.nz or 027 808 7701

Poll: What do you think of the wastewater-linked development restrictions?
Developers are questioning whether they want to invest in Hamilton as they let rip at councillors over wastewater related planning brakes that have kyboshed at least 750 projects worth tens of millions.
Matt Stark, who was behind the $25m-$30million MADE market project in Hamilton East told councillors it was intended to be a catalyst for growth but the halt on new builds due to over capacity pipes had stifled that expected flow-on.
