Poll: Is there enough accommodation choice for Waikato's older population?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Accommodation choices for Waikato’s burgeoning elderly population could soon get wider, with three applications for big new developments referred to the Government’s Fast-track programme.
