Hamilton's Draft 10-year Plan
You may have read or heard that Hamilton’s 10-year plan is now open for public submissions. What does this mean and why is it so important for our community?
- HCC have drawn up their draft plan for the next 10 years. This sets out what they plan to spend money on and when; what they expect projects to cost and how they plan to fund them. (Note that by exclusion the draft also says what they plan to NOT spend money on!)
- A public consultation document has been written by HCC. This should be an easy-to-understand version of the key points in the draft plan.
- On 29 March that public consultation document is released to the public.
- From 29 March to 30 April 2018 the public can give feedback to HCC on the draft plan – this is the ‘making submissions’ part. It’s your chance to have your say on whether the draft plan should be changed before it becomes the operational plan.
- During May 2018 the Councillors debate the issues raised in the public submissions. Members of the public have an opportunity to make a verbal presentation to support their submissions.
- The draft plan is revised based on the public submissions and Council debate. Then on 28 June the revised plan is formally adopted as the working 10-year-plan for the city.
NECH has put together a simple guide to having your say on the 10-year plan; click the link below or see the attached document for more info.

Poll: Do you use the district nursing service?
The health system has been accused of breaking the law amid sky-rocketing demand for community-based nurses in Waikato.
This comes as the supply of district nurses lags behind referral increases of more than 100%, leading to staff burn out and an “unprecedented” service failure.
Do you use the district nursing service? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
