Get involved in planning the future of your city
How we protect indigenous animal and plant habitats in Lower Hutt is part of the review of the district plan - the city's rule book for land use and development.
Time is running out for having your say in this initial engagement. While there will be other opportunities for you to provide your ideas and concerns, it's important to get in early and point out what's important to you so we can take a closer look at these issues.
The district plan covers major issues like housing supply and affordability, how we'll manage natural hazards and sea level rise, and protect heritage sites and buildings, right down to what you can do on your property and what your neighbours can do on theirs.
This engagement closes tomorrow night. For more information and to have your say, go to the link below.
