You are invited to provide input into the community plans
The Waikato District Council came to your town in 2018 to hear what was important to you and what you wanted to see in your community in the future.
We heard lots of great ideas and now we want to hear what your top three priorities for your town are. These priorities will be used by Council when we make decisions. It’s important to note that just because a project is in the Blueprint, it might not happen straight away, or even at all. If it does happen, the project may not necessarily be Council-funded.
Instead it might be led and funded by other agencies with Council’s support.
It’s important we hear from you, even if we’ve got it right and you have no suggestions.
See the attached PDF for more details.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?
A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.
It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
Do you think Hamilton City Council should sell some airport shares?
Two senior Hamilton councillors are pushing for an airport share sell-down and international flights to and from the city.
Councillors had already asked Waikato Regional Airport Limited to aim for bigger dividends and to beef up its commitment to attracting international flights at a city economic development committee hui in March.
