Have your say
Upper Hutt City Council provides services, infrastructure, and amenities with the aim of contributing to the well-being of our community.
We plan for ten years into the future based on the needs and aspirations of our community. We review these plans every three years to make sure any changing or emerging needs are taken into account. We now want to check in with you, to understand what’s important to you, and what you think we should focus on.
We have drafted a Sustainability Strategy and now we need your help. As a member of the Upper Hutt community, it’s important that you tell us what you think. We’ve proposed goals that we believe will set Upper Hutt on the right path to minimise our environmental impact, maximise remedial action, and role model sustainable community living.
This strategy belongs to everyone, so we want to make sure that our plans meet your expectations.
By taking time to engage with us, you are helping to create a better city for current and future generations to live in.

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.
