The team from Upper Hutt City Council

Upper Hutt City Council provides services, infrastructure, and amenities with the aim of contributing to the well-being of our community.

We plan for ten years into the future based on the needs and aspirations of our community. We review these plans every three years to make sure any changing or emerging needs are taken into account. We now want to check in with you, to understand what’s important to you, and what you think we should focus on.

We have drafted a Sustainability Strategy and now we need your help. As a member of the Upper Hutt community, it’s important that you tell us what you think. We’ve proposed goals that we believe will set Upper Hutt on the right path to minimise our environmental impact, maximise remedial action, and role model sustainable community living.

This strategy belongs to everyone, so we want to make sure that our plans meet your expectations.

By taking time to engage with us, you are helping to create a better city for current and future generations to live in.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

Gerda Takes On Te Reo Maori!

Shona McFarlane Retirement Village

This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week, is being held from September 16 to 23. It’s an important week encouraging all of Aotearoa to use te reo Māori in everyday life. Similarly, Mahuru Māori promotes speaking and celebrating te reo throughout the month of September.

Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.
