Councillors Report for Sept, 2024 - Roading Cuts!
From Councillors Beavis and Keir.
Lower than expected roading subsidies from the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) for local roading projects will leave Waikato District Council tens of millions short for planned new roading projects over the next three years. So far it’s been reported that the Council will be about $35m short - and this is likely to force the Council to defer some projects until 2027-28.

Community Asked To Keep an Eye On The New Public Toilet in Tamahere Park After Vandalism
Following the 5th March Committee meeting residents are being asked for support to report vandalism. The TCC has some initiatives to manage the issue.
The Council does not plan to provide for drying your hands or a toilet seat due to vandalism, which understandably is a real problem. The Committee suggested the following:
Provide signage that states what can be flushed down the toilet plus signage that provides a number to call if vandalism is occurring or has occurred (so it can be reported immediately).
Bring the matter to the attention of the Tamahere Community so that people are more aware.
Encourage the Council to speed up the CCTV project so that CCTV monitoring can assist with identifying the culprits.
TCC to liaise with Hamilton East, Tamahere and Matangi Community Patrol.
Please call 111 to report activities of vandals or vandalism and remember to grab 'happy snaps' of any perpetrators.
