Poll: Do you think you should be able to pay extra to speed up the building consent process?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Builders and developers in Hamilton could have the option of fast-tracked building consents after the local body elections - if they are willing to pay more, that is.

However, not all developers canvassed by the Waikato Times support the idea being floated by Hamilton city councillor and mayoral aspirant Sarah Thomson.
