Naenae Pool - call for local business interest
Local businesses are being encouraged to express interest in being part of the Naenae Pool Build.
Building a new pool in Naenae will not only deliver a new community asset but also provide opportunities for local people and businesses.
Local businesses can register an expression of interest and will then be alerted when an opportunity comes up through the duration of the project. Council will outline the specific services and products needed at each step of the build but are also interested in any sort of service or product people think could be included.
This is a once in a generation investment for Naenae, and encouraging businesses to get in touch with us to be part of the project is about maximising every dollar we spend to get as much local impact as possible.
Council is also working with local iwi, the Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce, and tertiary providers to ensure the Naenae rebuild provides as much of a boost to the local economy as it possibly can.
Businesses can register their interest here hutt.city/bepartofnaenaepool
Stay in touch with what is happening at hutt.city/naenaepool or drop in to speak with the team - every Thursday morning 10am-12noon, Coco Pop Up, Hillary Court, Naenae.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
