Upgrades Coming For Wellington Street Beach

Hamilton City Council is planning to upgrade the park area above Wellington Street Beach, and wants to hear your thoughts on what you’d like to see there.

The plans include a new public toilet, a barbecue area with shaded seating, more flat space to rest and play, and wide, accessible pathways.

The refreshed space will also improve sightlines from the road to the beach, helping to keep families safer as they enjoy the space. The area will be complemented with native planting too.

Council wants to know how you currently use the space, where you think the new public toilet would best be positioned, and which amenities you want to see there.

“Wellington Street Beach is an iconic Hamilton destination, and we know it is loved by people across the city” said Parks and Recreation Unit Director, Maria Barrie.

“Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and will help us deliver a refreshed space that best serves you for many summers to come”.

The jetty at Wellington Street Beach has recently been assessed and found to be unsafe, and it needs to be removed.

Council is looking at a temporary replacement for the summer ahead. Community feedback is also being sought on ideas for a permanent replacement for the jetty, which is due for renewal in the 2024–2034 Long-Term Plan.

You can have your say from 21 November to 12 December at haveyoursay.hamilton.govt.nz or pick up a hard copy from any Hamilton library or the main Council building.

You can also come along to a drop-in session at Wellington Street Beach to chat about your thoughts, on Wednesday 29 November, 3.30pm–5pm and Saturday 2 December, 2pm–4pm.

Gordon Campbell: On How Climate Change Threatens Cricket‘s Future

Well that didn’t last long, did it? Mere days after taking on what he called the “awesome responsibility” of being Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon has started blaming everyone else and complaining that he's inherited “economic vandalism on an unprecedented scale” - which is how most of us would describe his own coalition agreements, 100-Day Plan, and backdated $3 billion handout to landlords...

Public Housing Futures: Christmas Comes Early For Landlords

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More


Green Party: Petition To Save Oil & Gas Ban

“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More

PSA: MFAT Must Reverse Decision To Remove Te Reo

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru.
