Mapping flood hazards in Lower Hutt
We’ll be at the Dowse tonight (6-8pm) and Naenae Library on Tuesday (3-5.20pm) to show you draft stormwater and river flood hazard maps of the cty.
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 our public information sessions and view the draft maps, learn more about natural hazards and help us to manage their impacts on our city. More information below.

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!
