From TCC Chair - Charles Fletcher : The TCC subcommittee developing your new Community Plan has canvased community views over the last 8 months and it now formulating the new Community Plan for Tamahere, taking into consideration a mutally beneficial association with Matangi and Tuawhare. Hamilton City and Cambridge/Hautapu growth pressures have the potential to adversely impact on the lifestyle experiences currently enjoyed in these current rural, country living and village environments. Local roads are already suffering from the influences these pressures (e.g. construction of the new "peanut roundabout" on Morrinsville Road).

If you want a say is this vital work, please contact Charles Fletcher as the chairperson of TCC at tamaherecommunity@gmail.com

The aim is to deliver this plan during October 2026 so that it can be adopted by the Waikato Disctrict Council it time for consideration for the February 2027 deliberations for the LTP update.

The New Zealand Government is wanting to reduce the sizes of local, district and regional councils in order to drive both cost and infrastructure efficiencies. We have until Agust 9th to make our voices heard. What are your chief concerns?

Check the comments for some questions we are asking WDC Mayor Aksel Bech which might help to prompt your voice.

Here you can add your comments about what the Tamahere Community could / should look like in 50 years from now. Residential, Lifestyle, Transport and Roading, Infrastructure, Food Growing and Security. Please add your comments so they can be added to the overall plan.

The Proposed 150 Hectare Equine hub on Pencarrow Rd has both support and detraction. Residents generally accept it as being a good option for the amalgamation of the Te Rapa, Cambridge and Wapai (Te Awamutu) tracks. However residents directly affected still have their questions unanswered.

Use this group to air your concerns or support so your committee can get the exact views of the community in front of the WTR - Waikato Thoroughbreed Racing consortium.
