Hamiltonians have until Sunday 16 May to share their views on the city’s heritage – what’s important to the people who live here and how we tell the whole story of Hamilton Kirikiriroa.

Input provided by the community through a three-week engagement period will be used to shape Hamilton’s new Heritage Strategy. The strategy will go to Council’s Community Committee in August for consideration.

People have until Sunday 16 May to share their voice at hamilton.govt.nz/heritage or by filling in a form at Council’s central city offices or library branches.

Council is asking for feedback on three questions:

  • What does a city where heritage thrives look like?
  • How can the community, mana whenua and Council work together to strengthen and support ongoing recognition of the city’s heritage?
  • How can Council make it easier for people and groups to learn about, commemorate, promote, protect and preserve Hamilton Kirikiriroa’s heritage?

Council has a legal responsibility to protect all forms of heritage. It does this through the items our museum and libraries collect, by telling stories through signage, identification of buildings and sites for protection through the District Plan and much more.

The Heritage Strategy will focus on making sure the city’s diverse heritage is commemorated, protected, preserved and promoted so we can understand – now and in the future – how our city was shaped.

Share your voice online by Sunday 16 May.
