WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT ME
"Hi there my name is Poe and I am a great pup looking for my forever home. I have not had the best start to life so would love a home that understands my quirks and is keen to help me through them. A home that has the patience and time to help me be the best companion I know I can be. I am super social so I could go a home with another playful dog that loves having a good tumble. I am not suited to a home with young children so would love a home with teenagers, who are keen to teach me new things and take me on adventures. Puppy school is something I am looking forward with my new family, learning things and making new friends. I do come with a medical waiver that my new home would need to be aware of. If you think you are the home for me please contact the canine team for more information."

Deer becoming a urban problem in Lower Hutt

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Lower Hutt residents are giving up their vege patches and losing their lawn as deer move in on urban areas.

Lower Hutt residents are giving up their vege patches and losing their lawn as deer move in on urban areas.
No one keeps tabs on deer numbers but anecdotally they are turning up in a range of urban areas including Naenae, Stokes Valley, Eastbourne and Wainuiomata, as well as the Belmont Regional Park.
The Hutt City Council has a $15,000 fund for culling deer, which is administered by Greater Wellington Regional Council.
Department of Conservation’s biodiversity threats advisor Dave Carlton​ says the deer that help themselves to Taylor’s garden point to a much bigger problem.
There are similar issues in urban areas throughout New Zealand and DOC is working on a national framework to come up with a strategy to deal with deer.

Hutt City Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council and Wellington Water are working on two projects that make up the most comprehensive flood mapping exercise in the city’s history.

The latest computer modelling techniques have been used to develop
draft flood hazard maps that depict stormwater and river flooding.

Now we need you to help finish the job. To make sure the finished
maps are as accurate as possible, we’d like you to tell us about flooding
events in your neighbourhoods and show us any photos you’ve got.

For further information on this project, go to: hutt.city/floodhazards

We’d also like your thoughts on other natural hazards like earthquakes, slips and erosion, and their impacts on our city.

We need this information as we prepare to draft a new district plan – the rule book for land use and development in Lower Hutt. And lastly, as part of the district plan review, we’d like to talk to you about residential development in the city, particularly your thoughts on what is a reasonable distance for people to walk from higher-density residential housing to train stations, shops and other facilities.
