Hutt City Council is reviewing how Lower Hutt residents are represented at Council, in preparation for the 2019 local body elections.
Council recently agreed to a draft proposal that would maintain the current way the Mayor and Councillors are elected and the present structure of community boards and panels. However, it proposes a review of community panels, which were established last year, in three years to gauge their effectiveness at representing their communities. The review was originally scheduled in six years’ time.
The final shape of representation arrangements in Lower Hutt will depend on formal public submissions over the next month.
To view the draft proposal and make a submission, go to huttcity.govt.nz/representation
Submissions close at 5pm on 3 September 2018. Council will then decide whether to amend its proposal or not. The final representation proposal will then be publically notified and people have the opportunity to lodge an appeal or objection.

• In general you’re entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave each year after you’ve worked for your employer for 6 months.
• You can accumulate any unused sick leave up to a total of 20 days.
• Sick leave can be used when you’re sick or when you need to be off work to look after someone else who is sick or injured (your partner, child, or someone who relies on you for care).
• Even if you’re a part-time or casual worker, you’re still entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave a year (once you’ve worked for 6 months continuously or for an average of 10 hours per week, and at least one hour in every week or 40 hours in every month).
• Your employer can require you to provide a medical certificate if you’re sick for 3 or more days in a row, and you’ll need to pay to get it. If they want proof of sickness sooner then they will have to pay the costs of getting the proof.
These are the minimum sick leave entitlements. Your employer can agree to give you more.
Check out our website for more information about sick leave and other employment rights and responsibilities. If you’ve got questions get in touch with a CAB near you, call us on 0800 367 222 (0800 FOR CAB), or contact us online.
I recently met a gentleman who lives in Avalon and would love to have some company and play a social game of any or all of the above. He has limited access to the community so a meet up would either potentially be at his home, the local library or Avalon Community Hall on a weekday afternoon. … View moreI recently met a gentleman who lives in Avalon and would love to have some company and play a social game of any or all of the above.

Just wanted to let everyone know that all of the cats have received their dentals. To date we have raised $920 which is almost half of the amount required and that is amazing! So a huge thanks to everyone who has donated so generously.
However we still do need help to cover those dental bills so if you can, please donate at givealittle.co.nz...
for this specific cause. (Every dollar helps.)
Also we have more exciting news, two of the cats have been rehomed. Fabian and Josie now have permanent furever homes so thank you so much for that as well.
