The biggest crime in Tamahere is stolen mail. The loudest complaint is about traffic chicanes.

Yet behind the rural calm and neighbourly charm, this pocket of Waikato on Hamilton’s southern edge is undergoing a surge in popularity that has made it one of the region’s hottest lifestyle destinations — and one of its most expensive.

Did you know this work was happening in our region?

Two University of Waikato scientists have secured major health research grants, with projects that could directly change lives – from helping amputees gain confidence with prosthetic limbs to creating new ways of stopping harmful cells from spreading.

Two University of Waikato scientists have secured major health research grants, with projects that could directly change lives – from helping amputees gain confidence with prosthetic limbs to creating new ways of stopping harmful cells from spreading.

For many amputees, learning to use a prosthetic limb is so mentally demanding that almost half eventually give up on it. Dr Mahonri Owen (Ngāti Hine; Ngāti Tūwharetoa), Senior Lecturer in Engineering, wants to change that.

Southland shock Waikato to lift Ranfurly Shield in horror conditions

Today is the first day of Wills Month, so Eleanor Cater from our peak body Community Foundations of Aotearoa NZ has written this article for The Post....

It’s really hard to give well. Many people have shared this same thought with me over the years as they try to work out where it would be best to place their donations and giving intent, in order to shift the dial on the problems that they see locally.

There’s a real Kiwi drive to make a difference, we see it in our consistently high place on the World Giving Index (though that is slipping) and we hear it in countless giving stories from across the nation. From the Ashburton farmers (two brothers) who have launched local tertiary scholarships, to the Hawke’s Bay family who have started a fund supporting dementia services in honour of their wife and mum, to the Wellington mother who has discovered, through her giving journey, political activism. We see countless journeys of people who are learning how to give well into communities, who really want to make their donations count, and who are discovering something significant about themselves along the way.

Bylaws to counter antisocial behaviour in Hamilton’s CBD sparked fiery debate on Thursday, but city council staff admitted they are unlikely to be enforced - ever.

The amended bylaws mean a breach could technically result in fines of up to $20,000 for sleeping on a park bench, but officials said prosecutions have never happened and probably never will.
