Potential for faster than expected interest rate cuts from this year is a ray of hope for Hamilton’s sluggish economy but there’s considerable caution from a senior city specialist on the speed of any cuts.
Tainui Group Holdings - owner of the site of Hamilton’s central police station - is opposing a plan for potential restrictions on what can be done with the building after the police lease ends in 2032.Evidence from senior tribe member Rahui Papa - who’s on the Police Commissioner’s Māori Focus Forum - says the station, said to have been built in the mid-1970s, embodies Waikato-Tainui’s “painful past” under colonisation.
A central Hamilton spot that’s been mostly vacant for years is earmarked for a six-storey development.Resource consent has been granted for a 20,000m² building next to Centre Place, at the corner of Ward and Victoria Street and Tainui Group says it’s talking to potential tenants.The site has spent years fenced off with Tainui branded boards and currently comprises an empty lot and the P&M plaza building, which will be removed in preparation for the new development.
Trolleys left lying in streets around a Hamilton supermarket have prompted calls for a daily pick-up service.One local is so sick of seeing them abandoned around Mill Street Pak’nSave - especially in Ulster Street - that he’s been pushing the supermarket for a clean-up for a year.
