Settling-In Tips from
Staff at Crown Hamilton

What is special or unique about your city?

With a rapidly growing population of 169,000, Hamilton is New Zealand’s largest inland city. One of New Zealand’s greenest cities, Hamilton lies nestled in the heart of a rich farming region. It also has a good climate, beautiful scenery, gorgeous rivers and lakes, a clean green environment and top educational facilities. Furthermore, Hamilton's business community is very prosperous. Hamilton is a 90-minute drive to Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city. Or you can drive west 30 minutes to a lovely neighbouring seaside town renowned for its exceptional fishing and international surfing beaches. In addition, another drive of a little over one hour will take you to the beautiful white sandy beaches of the east coast, offering a variety of water sport options such as swimming, sailing, fishing, water skiing and jet skiing.

What are a newcomer's first impressions of your city?

Hamilton International Airport is only 15 minutes from downtown Hamilton. Upon arrival, you will be impressed with the beautiful greenness and lushness of the countryside. Hamilton’s prosperity comes from being in the centre of the Waikato District that is renowned for its rich farming/dairy land. Hamilton has all the benefits of a large city, with the convenience and lifestyle of a small city. Commuting anywhere within the city boundary takes about 20 minutes. Hamilton Gardens covers an area of 54 hectares and is the region’s most popular visitor attraction - with over 600,000 visitors annually. Hamilton is also world famous for the NZ Agricultural Field days, an event held at Mystery Creek every year in June which draws around 100,000 visitors over a four day period. In addition, Hamilton has an excellent zoo, two swimming complexes, seven golf courses, six libraries, the Waikato Museum of Art and History, a newly completed multi-event sports stadium and a casino. Hamilton also has some of the best shooting ranges in New Zealand, with its pistol club facilities being of an international standard. Finally, Hamilton Lake is just two minutes by car from downtown Hamilton. Here, you'll find swans, a kiosk, a children’s playground, walking/jogging tracks around the lake and plenty of lovely picnic areas.

Are these impressions likely to change?

No - the impression will remain the same, down to the local aesthetics: strict building codes ensure that Hamilton's green belt and natural beauty will not change.

What is the local language?

English is the official language of New Zealand, however you will also hear Maori spoken, along with other languages from the South Pacific islands and Asia. Here are a few Maori words that may be fun to learn as well as help you while you are here: English = Maori hello = kia ora good bye = haere ra please = koa thank you = kia ora rawa atu good = ka pai bad = ka kino help = äwhinatia yes = äe no = käo food = kai water = wai

How easily could I live in this city without knowing this language?

It would be difficult to live in New Zealand without speaking English, as most New Zealanders only speak English or Maori. Fortunately, there is a wide variety of English language schools throughout New Zealand.

What are good things to remember in order to avoid offending the other residents of this city?

The main thing to remember is to respect the many diverse cultures in New Zealand. To avoid offending, please take note of the following: Casual dress is acceptable and usually preferred in most situations. Do not use the "V for victory" sign as it is considered offensive. Always try to be on time for appointments. Punctuality is considered good manners. Afternoon tea is between 3:00pm to 4:00pm at which sweet items such as cakes and biscuits are served. The evening meal (dinner) is between 6:00pm to 8:00pm and a larger meal is served. Supper is an optional snack served much later in the evening. If you are invited over to friends for a meal and have been requested to "bring a plate", this means that you are expected to bring a small plate of food appropriate for the meal you have been invited to. Tipping rarely occurs here but it is acceptable if you wish to acknowledge good service. Cover your mouth if you must yawn, do not use toothpicks or spit in public. Ask permission before you attempt to photograph someone. When meeting someone or departing use a firm handshake with good eye contact. Avoid confusing or comparing New Zealand to Australia, as they are two distinct countries. Remember that New Zealand has strict smoking rules, and smoking is not allowed in any public building or public transport. As of December 2004 - There is no smoking in any bars, cafes or restaurants, but smoking areas are now provided outside.

How might the local weather affect my daily life?

Hamilton has a temperate climate. Keep in mind that New Zealand seasons are reverse to those in the Northern Hemisphere. The warmest months are December, January and February while the coldest are June, July and August. Hamilton’s annual rainfall is 1189mm per annum. In addition, because the Waikato River flows through the centre of the city, some areas are subject to occasional fog. These usually clear by 9:00 am or 10:00 am and are followed by a sunny day.

Is there anything else I should know about the overall character of your city or its people?

Hamilton City is an independent local body with a City Council made up of one Mayor and a body of elected councillors. The city is very ‘pro recycling’ and everyone has green recycling bins to put out with the local rubbish collection. Additionally, New Zealand has a high regard for its natural beauty and is extremely protective of the flora and fauna.

What are the top factors to keep in mind when searching for a place to live in your city?

Real estate in Hamilton is consistently buoyant and good rental properties can be difficult to find. A transferee is encouraged to have a personal reference or testimonial from a previous landlord to assist in securing highly sought-after rental properties. School zoning is very strict - so it is very important to select which school you would like your children to attend, and know the correct zoning for the school before choosing a suburb in which to purchase or rent. When searching for a place to live, some important factors to consider are safety, location preference and individual needs. Depending on your preferences, you may want to find a place close to a school, church, transportation, shops, medical facilities, work and most importantly an area that is secure and safe. As with other cities in New Zealand, choosing the right place to live is essential to having a pleasant and safe stay in Hamilton.

What are the most popular neighborhoods in your city for expats?

The Hamilton Eastside/Hillcrest area is the most sought-after housing area in the city. This is because of its close proximity to the central business district (directly across the river) and also the excellent standard of educational facilities within the area, including a university. It is an older area of town and the homes are generally 15 to 35 years old. There is a wide variety of housing available, ranging from three and four-bedroom homes, smaller attached one and two bedroom units and blocks of flats (which are popular with the students). Hamilton South/Lake area is in close proximity to the Waikato Hospital and is a popular choice of location for the many doctors and medical staff who are on transfer with their work at the hospital. The housing in this area is well established, 15 to 35 years old. The Western/Dinsdale area of Hamilton is a popular community suburb with a nice shopping area. You'll also find an extensive selection of all types of accommodation, including some large modern homes that have been built in the last 10 years in the Western Heights area. These have beautiful views overlooking farmland. To the northeast of Hamilton there is currently a huge building boom taking place, with hundreds of new homes springing up almost overnight. This is a very popular area with families of all nationalities and is predominantly owner-occupied. There are very few rental properties here, but it is an excellent place to look if you are wishing to purchase a home of your own.

Do expats tend to buy or rent their homes?

Expats initially rent and then the majority tend to purchase if they are staying longer than one year. This gives them time to understand the housing market. Whilst looking for a permanent accommodation to rent or buy in Hamilton, you can opt to stay at motels, serviced apartments or even holiday houses, other than hotels. Please refer to websites below for further information.

Typically, will I be required to pay additional money up front (such as a deposit) before moving into leased housing? If so, how much is common?

When renting you are required to pay a bond equivalent to two or three weeks' rent. This is held in a Trust Account by a third party and returned at the end of the tenancy providing there is no rent owed or damages to the property. Rent is always paid in advance, usually weekly or fortnightly, and if the property is obtained through a letting agent, there is also a fee to be paid of one weeks rent plus GST (Government Service Tax) of 12.5%. In summary, you could be required to have 5 weeks rent prior to moving into a rental property: two weeks rent in advance, two to three weeks bond and one week to cover the letting fee. Please note: New Zealand Government has made an announcement that by October 2010, GST will be 15%.

Are utilities generally included in the price of rent, or are they extra?

Utilities are usually additional to rental prices. Very seldom are they included in the rent.

Are there special security concerns I should be aware of in regards to my home or choice of neighborhood?

Hamilton is generally a safe, relatively crime-free place to live. However, one or two areas have a history of problems and it would be best to make inquiries as to where these areas are before deciding to purchase or rent a home.

I’m not sure if I should bring my appliances. What is the electric current, Hz and plug shape in your city?

The electric current for New Zealand is 230-240 volts. The electrical Hertz (Hz) is 50 hertz of power. Plugs have two or three prongs in a triangular shape. Although adaptors are available, it is considered better to purchase small appliances on arrival. Type I plug - Oblique flat blades with ground (inverted V)

Do you have any other accommodation information that might help me?

Good rental properties are hard to find and it is advisable that transferees have a personal reference or testimonial from a previous landlord to assist in securing highly sought after rental properties. Some useful terms to be acquainted with are: Flat - a dwelling normally shared by a group of people Townhouses - several properties on shared land Units - dwellings joined to each other (normally single storied) Baches - small holiday homes Bungalows/villas - older wooden home (single story) on its own piece of land Cottages - small older wooden home

What types of schools do most expats in your city choose for their children?

Most expatriates prefer to send their children to private schools, which are available in Hamilton. Education is free when children utilize state schools, but there are many private (fee paying) schools as well. Schooling is available to children from age 5 and is compulsory from ages 6 to 16. Average teacher:student classroom ratios ranges from 1:19 to 1:24 across the various year levels and school types. Both single-sex and co-education schooling options are available and state (public) schools are secular. Primary education starts at Year 1 and continues until Year 8, with Years 7 and 8 mostly offered at either a primary or separate intermediate school. Secondary education (high school/college) covers Years 9 to 13 (during which students are generally ages 13 to 17).

What are some examples of these schools?

Here is a list of some of the private schools in Hamilton. Southwell School - Years 1 - 8 ( J1 - Form 2 or approximately 5 years -12 years old) 200 Peachgrove Rd Hamilton Co-educational PH : 07 8552089 St Pauls Collegiate - Years 9 - 13 (Form 3 - Form 7 or approximately 13 years - 17 years old) Hukanui Rd Hamilton Boys for Years 9 - 11 Co-educational Years 12 & 13 Ph : 07 9578899 St Peters School - Years 7 - 13 ( Form 1 - Form 7 or approximately 11 years - 17 years old) Hamilton Rd Cambridge Co-educational Ph : 07 8279899 Hamilton Diocesan School for Girls - Years 7 - 13 ( Form 1 - Form 7) River Rd PO BOX 3051 Hamilton Girls school only Ph : 07 8552038

Is there a lot of competition for spots in local schools?

Hamilton has very strict zoning rules for public schools. Zoning is an area surrounding a school where pupils have to reside to be eligible to attend. Zoning areas should be checked with each individual school. Although zoning rules do not apply to private schools, these schools have only limited spaces and you may be placed on a waiting list. It is important that you begin the application process as soon as possible. Should you require assistance with school search, please contact Crown Hamilton, who now provide a School Search programme as part of our growing Settlement Services division. Selecting the correct school for your child is a vital part of a successful relocation and can play a significant role in influencing where you choose to live.

Are pre-schools also widely available (for children approx. 2 to 5 years old)?

Yes, there is a large selection of pre school choices available. A lot of these have waiting lists, so some flexibility if required. Options include: Public Kindergartens (state funded) Private ECE Centers (early childhood education) Montessori Steiner

How are most kids transported to and from school?

Hamilton is not renowned for public transport so there are a lot of parents who drive their children to school, especially at the primary level (Years 1 to 6). Most intermediate and high schools provide transport in the form of buses. Some parents also car-pool.

When does the typical school year start and end?

The scholastic year is divided into 4 terms. Term one runs from January through April; term two from April to July; term three from July to September and term four from October to December. The school year reflects the reversal of seasons found in the Southern Hemisphere. The year is divided into four terms with holiday breaks in between. Children arriving from the Northern Hemisphere will either lose or gain six months in their grade placement. Schools try to place a child in their closest age group. Most schools favour the wearing of school uniforms. Students are required to purchase their own textbooks and school supplies.

Is there anything else I should know about local schools?

Information about any school in New Zealand can be obtained from the Educational Review Office at the website listed below. School hours are generally between 9:00am to 3:00pm Mondays to Fridays. School hours may vary for Primary, Intermediate and High Schools. The Ministry of Education uses a decile rating system for school funding purposes. Schools in decile one have the highest proportion of students from low social-economic backgrounds. Schools in decile ten have the lowest proportions of these students. In New Zealand, schools are given a rating depending on the income of the people in the surrounding areas. The decile rating, ranges from 1 (lowest income districts) to 10 (highest income district). The National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) was progressively implemented between 2002 and 2004, as the national senior secondary school qualification. The NCEA correspond to the final three years of secondary schooling (Years 11-13). Information about the NCEA and New Zealand Scholarship can be found on www.ncea.govt.nz. Ministry of Education provides assistance for international students where English is not their first language. This programme is called ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages). It is designed to assist students to participate successfully in the New Zealand school curriculum and interact socially with New Zealand students and within the wider New Zealand community. For further information, please visit www.minedu.govt.nz (type ESOL under search). For any other questions, please contact Crown Hamilton.

Will I need to drive my own vehicle to conduct my everyday life (work/school/shopping) at my destination?

It is certainly a lot more convenient to have your own car, especially for work or dropping the children off at school. However, it is not absolutely necessary. Hamilton does have an efficient bus system that services the shopping malls and most of the residential areas. Buses now run every half hour between the city and the suburbs and vice versa. A great effort has been made by the Council to improve the public transport system.

How can I legally drive a vehicle in this city?

If you have a current and valid overseas driver license you can drive using that for maximum of 12 months from the date you arrive in New Zealand. If your overseas licence or permit is not in English then you must carry an acceptable translation. If you wish to drive after one year you must obtain a new Zealand drivers licence.Depending on the country you have come from, you may have to pass a theory and or practical test. Please visit your local Automobile Association office to obtain an application for a New Zealand driver's license.

What side of the road do people drive on?

Motorists drive on the left hand side of the road.

Describe typical public transportation an expat might use to get around the city.

Buses are the only means of public transport available within Hamilton city. Most Hamiltonians use private motor vehicles as their main form of transport due to the infrequent service of public transport.

Could an expat also use public transportation to get out of the city—to surrounding towns, recreation areas or suburbs? If so, list options.

The surrounding towns are not easily reached by public transport. However, there is a network of buses which depart daily to most major cities, and trains can take you as far as Auckland, Wellington or Tauranga.

In regards to transportation, are there any safety issues I should be aware of?

There are no additional safety issues -- apart from remembering that New Zealanders drive on the left side of the road. In addition, pedestrians who are not used to this system should be cautious when crossing the road. Wearing seatbelts is compulsory for all passengers. Motorcyclists must wear crash helmets. Maximum legal speed on highways and motorways is normally 100 kph (61 mph). In cities and towns, the limit is 50 kph (30 mph). Speed limit signs show the maximum speed at which you can travel. Exceeding the speed limits is considered a serious offense and carries heavy penalties. At a 'Give Way' sign, be ready to stop and give way to all traffic. At a 'Stop' sign, stop completely and then give way to all traffic. At intersections that do not have 'Give Way' or 'Stop' signs or traffic lights, the following rules apply: if you are turning, give way to all vehicles not turning in all other situations give way to vehicles crossing or approaching from your right. If you are turning left, this includes any vehicles coming towards you that is turning right. For a more detailed explanation of New Zealand's driving rules, copies of the 'New Zealand Road Code' can be purchased from most bookshops and stationery outlets. New Zealand laws requires that all children under the age of five are property restrained in an approved child restraint appropriate for their age and weight. Approved child restraints include: infant restraints for young babies (often called baby capsules) restraints for older babies and toddlers (often called car seats) harnesses and booster seats for preschool and school-aged children Child restraints are sold by retailers such as department stores, larger toy shops and shops that sell baby supplies. You can rent child restraints from the Plunket, other community groups and some companies. Plunket Car Seat Rental Schemes have booster seats, infant and child restraints available for short and long term hire suitable for newborns and children up to seven years. They are available for a minimal cost to ensure all families can afford to keep their children safe while travelling. You can visit Plunket's website for further details: www.plunket.org.nz

Where do I buy tickets/tokens/etc. for the major public transportation?

Go to the Hamilton Visitor Information Center downtown. They can give you information on things to see and do around the Waikato Region and throughout NZ and make your bookings at the same time. They can help you with coach travel/tours, sightseeing tours, accommodation, activities and attractions, inter-island ferry and rail travel. It is common to purchase bus tickets upon boarding.
