Poll: What's your preference for Hamilton's water services?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Some say a joint Hamilton city-Waikato district waters operation lets councils think beyond “lines on a map” and could help support more housing.

Others have big doubts about the details or want the idea binned.

The city council on Monday announced 74% of more than 220 submissions supported having the two councils form a joint council controlled organisation (CCO) to run drinking water and wastewater services.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
