Long Term Plan 2021 – 2031
Thank you Upper Hutt!
We have formally adopted the Long Term Plan 2021 – 2031, following a community-wide consultation during March and April. We received close to 1,000 submissions—almost three times what we had for the previous LTP.
THANK YOU for sharing your thoughts and feedback on the plans for our city for the next 10 years! It helps us in our decision making when we know that we are hearing from a larger number of our residents.
The plan that’s been adopted focuses on meeting both the current and future needs of our city, in a financially prudent way. It’s available on our website and we encourage you to read through it to see what we will be working on and where we’ll be investing.
Highlights include:
>Significant investment in our core infrastructure.
>Upgrades to H2O Xtream and the Civic Centre.
>New sustainability grant and other sustainability initiatives.
>$20 M on walking and cycling infrastructure.
>Economic development of our city and enhancing the vibrancy of our city centre
To make sure we can deliver our plan, the average rates increase over 10 years is 4.8% per annum.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
