Programme summary
What we're doing
We’re improving the vibrancy of our social and creative spaces, as well as restoring nature in our city, covering hundreds of hectares in Hamilton with native vegetation.
Why we're doing it
We want to work with you to make Hamilton a great place to live, work, play and visit by making the most of – and protecting – the assets we’ve got, and developing new assets for the future.
This programme will provide the community places they can come together and enjoy, to ensure Hamiltonians enjoy a connected, vibrant, attractive and prosperous city.
