Poll: Do you support passenger rail to Tauranga?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The Green Party has launched a petition calling on the Minister for Rail to reinstate passenger rail services across the country, and extend Hamilton’s Te Huia rail service to Tauranga.

Green Party transport spokesperson Julie Anne Genter launched the petition on Thursday, saying it would cost around $10 million to use existing tracks linking the two fast growing cities.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
