A huge congratulations to our Active in the Hutt and Healthy Families Hutt Valley teams for their mahi on this movement.
A special thanks to residents who have helped things like Play Streets become a core part of the movement, as well as schools who use programmes like Build & Play and Pukutākaro to grow physical activity through play.
Thanks also to the community groups who are increasing access to play by giving their time and space, and sponsors who make these projects sustainable
Upper Hutt City Council asking for opinions on whether to install a dog park in Upper Hutt and then how elaborate this park should be. The costs are ongoing but initally estimated at $100,000 for option one and $300,000 for option two.
I say no dog park.

I say no dog park.
Upper Hutt does not need a dog park because almost all of its parks, reserves and tracks are available for dogs off-leash.
Parts of Maidstone Park, Trentham Memorial Park and other partial sports grounds have restricted availablity for dogs off-leash when a sporting fixture is actually being held on a certain part of the ground. Upper Hutt is the most dog friendly city or large town in NZ.
To be off-leash a dog needs to know the basics like come, sit, stay and one can teach a puppy or adult dog these kinds of commands from within their lounge.
The major factor wrong with dog parks is that too many dog owners who pay high annual dog registration fees, feel that they therefore own the park and that their dog/s is entitled to roam the park off-leash no matter their behavioural situation. Dog parks promote dog fights which can spill over to vicious human behaviour as well as place people at risk.
There are 6300 registered dogs in Upper Hutt and many people from all parts of the Wellington region bring their dogs to UH to enjoy the parks etc and the venues such as Brewtown.
What the council should be doing for dog owners is reducing the cost of annual registration fees and granting free microchipping.
I have placed proposals to council and councillors for a dog playground in UH. This calls for a small open area say within the confines of Trentham Memorial Park (where it gets up to 2000 dog visits a week) with some permanent obstacles etc installed to suit large, medium and small size dogs. The cost would probably be less than $20,000. This would be fun, relatively inexpensive and right where the main attraction and action is for dogs and their owners. TMP is perhaps the best park in the world available for dogs. It is centralised and has everything except for a playground as per above, and is a gateway to kilometres of trails/ tracks and other parks.

Due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, commemoration services for Anzac Day will look a little different this year. There will be a scaled-back dawn service to remember the conflicts of our past and present, and to honour those who served.
Public are welcome to attend, but please remember to follow COVID-19 guidance, and do not attend if you are feeling unwell.
There is also a pop-up poppy field on Andrews Avenue from 18-26 April, where the public are welcome to lay poppies and pay their respects.
There will be no civic service in 2022.
