Poll: Māori tourism centre earmarked for the Hamilton Gardens
The plan was put forward in a submission by the iwi on the Hamilton City Council's planned re-vamp of the Gardens.
Mayor Andrew King backed the venture. He said Tainui wanted the land to be close enough to the Waikato River's bank, so it could launch a waka as part of the tourism experience.
Should the gardens move away from being GARDENS and just become a tourist attraction with different themes?
