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: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
