Natural Environment
This consultation has concluded.
Hamilton’s natural character is made up of a diverse ecosystem that includes the Waikato River, and lakes, wetlands and gully networks that shape and define much of our city.
The complex biodiversity, interrelated ecosystems and natural features that form our rivers, lakes, wetlands, gullies and urban landscapes, are fundamental to the social and environmental wellbeing of our city.
Natural character, biodiversity and urban trees will be key to maintaining and enhancing that wellbeing as we move into the future.

Should we protect special trees on public and private land? And what about looking after them? Is that something Council should help with?
This online discussion forum has concluded. You can still browse the site but the discussion area will no longer accept new comments or votes.
We've all driven down one of the famously tree-lined streets in Hamilton a noticed what a difference the trees make. It is true that urban trees can play a really important role building up the city's character, heritage, culture and things that make it a nice place to live - amenity values. Trees are a key feature odf some of our favourite streets, parks and neighbourhoods. A number of incidents where trees have been removed have attracted considerable public interest and disapproval.
What do you think about protecting special trees in the city?

What are the big issues? The first stage of the District Plan is now complete. In it we asked you to help us identify what significant resource management issues were facing Hamilton 28 February 2010 What options could we use to address them? Right now we are looking at what options we can use to address Hamilton's significant resource management issues. At this stage we have developed a map called a Spatial Framework to help you get a big picture of what those options could look like if they were put in place across the city. We have developed a range of options and indicated what our thinking is so far on how they could address issues in the city. As part of this process we will be asking all stakeholders what they think about how these options could form a new District Plan. The deadline for public comments is 29 October 2010. 29 October 2010 Drafting the Plan. Early in the New Year we will publicly confirm the options to take forward. A proposed District Plan based on these options will be prepared. 01 February 2011 What do you think about the Plan? In early 2012, the proposed District Plan will be notified. This is when you will be asked what you think about the new District Plan for Hamilton. 01 February 2012 -
