Becoming NZ’s first Green Star rated pool

Hutt City Council

On track to open late 2024, the design of the new Naenae Pool and Fitness Centre has been strongly influenced by feedback from the community.

With a 50m Olympic pool, two Zoom tubes, leisure pool, poolside birthday party room, fitness centre and gym, the new centre will be a fit-for-purpose aquatic facility and social precinct that meets our communities’ needs now and into the future.

As part of our commitment to being carbon-zero by 2050, the new pool will be the first pool in Aotearoa New Zealand to have a Green Star rating.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
