Winter Woolly Bird Count 2022

Hutt City Council

The Winter Woolly Bird Count 2022 is on this Saturday from 10am-4pm!

Don your winter woollies, grab your binoculars, and invite your friends and family for an afternoon of scavenger hunting to find lots of unique yarn birds, created by Wonky Stitches NZ, hidden all around the Lower Hutt city centre! Don’t forget to register your participation at Wonky Stitches NZ and you can pick up a copy of the map at the War Memorial Library on Saturday!

There will also be a Crochet Workshop running during the Bird Count at War Memorial Library with a koha donation entry. The proceeds from this will be going to Wellington Harbour Little Blue Penguin Study (Penguin People). This event is sponsored by About Space Hutt City, a programme that places active and creative projects in vacant spaces, to add vibrancy to the city.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?

Kiwisaver Changes

Jo from Hutt Central

Has your accountant told you about recent changes to KiwiSaver contribution rates and how they may affect wages and payroll calculations?

These updates can have flow-on effects for both employers and employees, and understanding them early helps avoid surprises.
