Council boosts spending as deer chew through native bush
The number of feral deer being shot on Lower Hutt’s suburban margins has more than doubled, while residents report increasing damage to the bush.
A report presented to the Hutt City Council’s Climate Change and Sustainability Committee showed 57 deer were culled in the 2020/2021 financial year, up from 25 in the previous period. The committee doubled its culling budget of $15,000, which was unchanged from the last two years, to $30,000. Culling is administered by Greater Wellington Regional Council.
