Hamilton's city planner 'go-to guy', Luke O'Dwyer dies suddenly at home


O’Dwyer played a key role in the multi-agency FutureProof partnership which helps plan for the wider Waikato region and was an advisor on urban issues at a national level. He was also an honorary lecturer in urban and regional planning at Waikato University.
Chief executive Richard Briggs advised all council staff at a pre-planned team meeting on Thursday.
“Announcing Luke’s passing was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do,” Briggs said.
“Losing someone so young and so unexpectedly is hard to fathom and this will take some time to process.
“Luke was a hugely respected and very well-liked member of the HCC family and his passing leaves a massive, massive gap.”

Dunedin mayor Aaron Hawkins has written a draft submission concerning the charitable trusts of casinos.
A draft letter from Dunedin mayor Aaron Hawkins, which forms part of a submission to be discussed by his council on Tuesday, supported a “more consistent approach to the level of community funding provided by casinos”.
Hawkins also asked for the trusts to become fully independent of casinos, “rather than allow licence holders to exercise control over significant aspects of the trust”.
He noted Dunedin Casino paid at least $52,000 a year to an “independent” charitable trust, which provided funding for problem gambling treatment and 1 per cent of gaming machine turnover (to a maximum of $110,000) to community and sport groups.
