COUNCIL BUILDING INSPECTIONS
Council officers have completed assessment of the 59 earthquake-prone buildings registered in the city, and one of these buildings requires further inspection by an engineer.
Council officers are now investigating any other buildings that they’ve been notified about.
Concerned a building has structural damage?
If you’re the tenant of a building that you suspect has suffered structural damage please notify the owner in the first instance and then inform Council of the address.
If a building does have structural damage the owner will need to get an engineer’s report, we can advise them on the steps they need to take. We really want to encourage tenants and owners to let us know of any concerns. Contact Council on 04 570 6666 or report it online huttcity.govt.nz/rap

Speed limits around NaeNae
Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
