19.9% rates rise proposed
Are you concerned about the 19.9% rates increase Council is proposing? Our draft Long-Term Plan reflects our commitment to building a better future for all Hamiltonians. To achieve this, we’re proposing an average rates rise of $11 per week for a median-value residential property in 2024/25.
This isn’t the outlook we were hoping to present for our city. But significant rates increases are necessary to invest in what our city needs now and in the future.
Remember, no final decisions have been made yet.
First, we need to ensure everyone’s voice is heard Visit hamilton.govt.nz/future-hamilton to have your say.

S Steel Stovetop Cleaning
I am desperate to find someone who is experienced in cleaning a stainless steel stove top.The worst one was when I was making soup(about one and a half hours) and I was using a simmer mat. I have found that if I am using the burner for even an hour I get this pale brown "bloom" which is almost impossible to remove. The pics show that I have got some off but that is using steelo and I can't get around the burner. Please, only give me something that does work, so I don't wreck the thing totally. I can't take my pans off half way through cooking and wipe around, it would be too hot. I'm desperate.
