Are you a first-home buyer? You could be in luck!

Reporter Waikato Times

Hi neighbours,

Our city could be set to get about 2600 homes, and the city council has decided at least 10 per cent of them must be affordable.

This roughly translates to homes selling for about $500,000 or less that will be part of the new Hamilton subdivisions. To read more, click here.

If the Government accepts the condition, Mayor Andrew King wants the cheaper houses to be for first-home buyers.

So, what do you think of the news? Will this affect you? How do you think this will help out families in your community? Share your thoughts with us in the replies!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
