Poll: How do you feel about Garden Place?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Senior city councillor and CBD resident Ewan Wilson says people are showering in the Garden Place fountains and wants more action on that and other anti-social behaviour in the central city.

“We’ve lost control of Garden Place,” he said during a strategic growth and district committee meeting, which was discussing the central city transformation programme.

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.”
