Do you think the council made the right call on restricting new developments?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Hamilton’s overloaded sewer pipes have scuttled about 750 potential developments in a little over two years, council figures show.

The sewerage situation prompted a city council clamp-down in 2023, effectively shutting down development in large parts of the city to avoid putting the system under extra pressure.

But the constraints - and the council’s response - seem to have “severely dented the confidence” of investors, city councillor Sarah Thomson says.
