Get involved in planning the future of your city
Have an opinion on how your city should look, feel and operate in the years ahead? It's time to let us know what you think.
Initial engagement on the review of Lower Hutt's district plan - the city's rule book for land use and development - is underway.
It covers major issues like housing supply and affordability, how we'll manage natural hazards and sea level rise, and protect natural habitats, right down to what you can do on your property and what your neighbours can do on theirs.
For more information and to have your say, go to the link below. Or if you're in the neigbourhood, come and talk to us this Saturday 24 April. We'll be with the 10 Year Plan team at the Naenae Village Market between 11am and 1pm.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
