Future of Lower Hutt's CBD
Hutt City Council is about to start mapping out the possible futures for the CBD and needs your views on how the city centre might look and feel in the future.
We are about to develop a spatial plan that will refresh and update Council's vision for CBD - Making Places. Over the coming months, we will be seeking residents’ views and aspirations for the city centre.
The link below has more information and a link to a survey to find out if residents’ priorities for the CBD have changed since Making Places was developed nearly 10 years ago. The survey closes on 8 December.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
