Mapping flood hazards in Lower Hutt
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.
Poll: Is street parking fair game?
Some people are frustrated by their neighbours or neighbour's friends parking on the street outside their house. This means they have to park further away themselves.
