Poll: Should Naenae Pool be rebuilt?
The $68 million budget to rebuild Lower Hutt's earthquake-prone Naenae pool is a “limit” not a “target”, according to the council.
The pool was closed in April 2019 after engineering reports gave it an overall rating of less than 34 per cent of the New Building Standard.
At the time, the council estimated the construction of a new pool would cost about $40m. In 2020, that figure was increased to $54m. Then, last week, the council released the latest projections, which put the cost of the project at up to $68m.
Counciilors this week agreed to rebuild it but have set a limit of $68m.
Cr Brady Dyer questioned whether the council should ask the public for their views on demolishing the pool and turning the site into a reserve.

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)
