Trentham Racecourse Overhaul

Michael from Trentham

So in around 5-7 years we can expect the retention of the historical, famous racecourse proper of the international size it is currently and has been for around 120 years but with a completely amazing remodeled "offcourse".

850 above average apartments within multistoried blocks, a hotel, a retail village including bars and cafe/restaurants, other entertainment and features as well as facilities compatible with racing are replacing the two old grandstands and the land inbetween and on the outers.

As a local I hope that the Kiwi Rail-promised walkway from the Wallaceville Estate to the Trentham Railway Station and thus also the new racecourse complex, will finally be constructed. A walk to all of this on a good day would be right up my alley.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
