Tamahere 2025-2075
We are seeking community input for future plans for Tamahere. A community plan is being developed to set a strategy and plan for the next 50 years, in 10 year steps.
What will our community look like? What do we want it to look like?
The Southern Links state highway connection between the SH1 Expressway and SH3 is likely to be built in +/- 10 years, what will this mean for the community? Will land north of Southern Links become part of Hamilton City? Will land south of Southern Links become part of Waipa District? What do you want?
We would like to know your views! Please email tamaherecommunity@gmail.com

Poll: Have you ever had a Healthy Homes inspection done where you live?
Conflicting Healthy Homes inspection reports are raising concerns about the consistency of standards meant to ensure rental properties are safe and liveable.
In one recent case, a Cambridge rental property underwent two inspections within a week, with significantly different outcomes. The first, arranged by tenant Sara Lewis, identified multiple issues including mould, vermin, and ventilation concerns. A second inspection, arranged by property managers Harcourts, just six days later, found little to criticise.
Have you ever had a Healthy Homes inspection done where you live? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
