Every day, thousands of people cross Hamilton's boundary for work, study, or to access services like healthcare.

Over 22,000 people travel into Hamilton every morning, while around 13,000 Hamiltonians travel outside the city.

Those numbers give us a glimpse of how Hamilton really functions.
People don't make decisions about where they live or work based on council boundaries. Our transport networks, businesses, infrastructure and services are connected across them too.

That's why we think the future of local government needs to consider how our wider metro area actually functions, not just the lines on a map.

The commuter numbers are one piece of the bigger picture we're exploring through our thought paper, "Metropolitan Growth Needs Metropolitan Governance".

Hamilton's boundaries have changed many times over the years. Council amalgamation isn't proposing to change where Hamilton starts and stops, but the lines that a council governs might.

So, as New Zealand looks at the future of local government, we think there’s a bigger question to ask:
What does a fast-growing metro area like Hamilton need to work well now and into the future?

We’ve released a new thought paper, Metropolitan Growth Needs Metropolitan Governance, which makes the case for a more deliberate look at how growing metro areas are planned, funded and governed.

We're not claiming to have all the answers in the thought paper. Have a read and see what you think https://brnw.ch/21x53MM
