Mapping flood hazards in Lower Hutt

Jon from Hutt City Council

We’ll be in Petone tomorrow and Alicetown on Tuesday to show you draft stormwater flood hazard maps of these areas and river flood hazard maps for the wider Hutt River Valley.

If you have memories or photos of past flood events, we can use this information to ensure the finished flood maps are as accurate as possible. Information from the maps will be crucial for improving Lower Hutt’s resilience to future flooding.

Come along to the Petone Library tomorrow between 6pm and 8pm and view the draft maps, learn more about natural hazards and help us to manage their impacts on our city. More information below.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
