WE NEED YOUR HELP: IDENTIFYING FLOOD HAZARDS IN LOWER HUTT

Hutt City Council

Hutt City Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council and Wellington Water are working on two projects that make up the most comprehensive flood mapping exercise in the city’s history.

The latest computer modelling techniques have been used to develop
draft flood hazard maps that depict stormwater and river flooding.

Now we need you to help finish the job. To make sure the finished
maps are as accurate as possible, we’d like you to tell us about flooding
events in your neighbourhoods and show us any photos you’ve got.

For further information on this project, go to: hutt.city/floodhazards

We’d also like your thoughts on other natural hazards like earthquakes, slips and erosion, and their impacts on our city.

We need this information as we prepare to draft a new district plan – the rule book for land use and development in Lower Hutt. And lastly, as part of the district plan review, we’d like to talk to you about residential development in the city, particularly your thoughts on what is a reasonable distance for people to walk from higher-density residential housing to train stations, shops and other facilities.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Public Transport fares face 70% increase..

Mike from Alicetown

Wellington region users says increases to public transport fares of more than 70 percent would be "ludicrous", and would lead to them working from home more often, or taking the car rather than the bus.
