Residents across Tamahere and Tauwhare will begin seeing new speed limit signs installed from 20 July, as Waikato District Council rolls out its 2025 Speed Management Plan across the district. The programme will see approximately 270 sections of road updated, with installation expected to be completed by early September. Each new speed limit becomes legally enforceable once the new signs are in place.

The proposed Waikato Thoroughbred Racing Greenfield Racing Hub at Pencarrow Road, Tamahere, has reached an important milestone after the Minister for Infrastructure accepted the project's referral application into the Government's Fast-track approvals process. While the decision allows the proposed Equine Hub to move to the next stage of assessment, it does not constitute approval for the development.

The proposed Waikato Thoroughbred Racing (WTR) Equine Hub remains one of the most significant developments under consideration for the Tamahere area. The project would bring together the Waikato, Cambridge and Te Awamutu racing clubs into a single purpose-built racing, training and equine events facility on approximately 160 hectares of land between the Waikato Expressway and Hooker Road, near Duncan and Pencarrow Roads.

Tamahere-Woodlands Ward Councillors Crystal Beavis and Mike Keir say Waikato District Council has entered one of the most significant periods of change in recent years, with local government reform, major development projects and infrastructure planning all gathering pace. Their June update highlights several important issues that will affect residents across Tamahere, Matangi, Gordonton and the wider Waikato District.

The Tamahere Community Committee's recent Open Day has confirmed one thing: residents care deeply about the future of their community. Held as part of the Vision Tamahere 2075 initiative, the event attracted a steady stream of residents who took the opportunity to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing Tamahere over the coming decades.
