Championing Growth and Community in Hamilton
I’m Dave Taylor. Hamilton Kirikiriroa has always been my home. I was born here, went to school in Melville, and studied to a postgraduate level at Waikato University. I’ve been a renter and a ratepayer. I am driven to pay forward everything this city has given me,
improving the quality of life for our current and future residents.
Policies to help Hamilton communities thrive
Support our creative and community
spaces and groups
Celebrate Hamilton Kirikiriroa’s identity by supporting our creative and community
spaces and groups, festivals, public art, green and blue spaces, and collaborations
with Maaori. We’ll champion local talent, and drive business and tourism to our centre.
Expand transport options for 50,000 new residents
Data shows we’ll have 50,000 new residents within ten years, and our current long-term strategy underfunds our infrastructure. We need reliable roads for our cars, and safe, accessible choices for walking, cycling, scooters, buses, wheelchairs – all of which also reduce the demand on our roading.
Future-proof our infrastructure to meet growth and climate challenges.
Our long-term strategy documents expects our roading, waters, parks, and pools to go underfunded in the coming decade. Let’s invest proactively, leverage technology for resource management, prioritise projects based on impact, and collaborate with our communities to meet our needs and values
Aspirational for Hamilton
Hamilton Kirikiriroa in 2035 is thriving. It’s cleaner, more beautiful and more interconnected than ever. Children walk and cycle safely to school. With more scooters and bikes in use, and our upgraded bus network, there is less traffic on our well-maintained roads, so traffic jams are a thing of the past.
In ten years, we want to be able to say that we chose to have a city that was full of life, with robust infrastructure that was prepared for the future. Hamilton Kirikiriroa is a bold, energetic city, and one that we can proudly call home.
Our city is colourful, with artwork around every corner, and events on every week. People come from out of town to see a show, visit our parks and pools, join a community event, enjoy the river and lake walks, go to a café or shopping, or just to see the ambitious projects that are enlivening our civic spaces.
