We’re meeting you where you are
Come and meet your local councillors, in your local place. We’re coming to libraries and community centres across Hamilton Kirikiriroa to hear from you. Whether it’s a quick comment or a bigger concern, your feedback helps inform Council decisions. We’re here to listen.
These are informal, drop‑in sessions. No presentation, no speeches, just real conversations in your local place. This is a chance to talk directly with the people elected to represent you, and to help inform Long-Term Plan decisions.
Each session will have at least two councillors present, with a mix of East Ward, West Ward, Mayor and Maaori Ward representation across the full schedule.
Where we'll be
We’re visiting 13 locations across the city, making sure there’s good coverage on both sides of the river and across older and newer suburbs. All sessions are free, drop‑in, and open to everyone.
