The Library has received a Detailed Seismic Assessment (DSA) and has a New Building Standard (NBS) of between 40 and 45%.
Geotechnical work is needed to help us to understand what strengthening we need to do and is scheduled from Monday 16 September to Thursday 19 September.
The work will include drilling and it will be noisy and disruptive, so the Library will close on Monday 16 September. We’ll be working with Health & Safety to assess the noise and will make a decision about Tuesday – Thursday closer to the time. We’ll let you know.
The Little Theatre has received an initial desk-top seismic assessment (ISA) and has a rating of 15%. An Earthquake Prone Notice has been placed on the entrances. A decision has been made to keep the theatre open, while we wait for the detailed seismic assessment to be completed.
Our staff will now work with people who have made bookings to let them know that it has been classified as earthquake prone, and find alternative options for people who wish to move facilities. In the meantime, no new bookings will be taken for the theatre.
Fellow Café has received a rating of 70% and will remain open during the geotechnical work.

Yesterday marked the start of this year’s Heritage in the Hutt (8 – 30 September 2019).
Make sure you check out Lower Hutt’s unique and interesting history, visit the exhibitions, enjoy the talks and take a tour to learn about how our community started.
To celebrate here are 3 words you can use in your next kōrero about mental health + well-being. 🗣🧡

Which is why, Hutt City Council are helping to coordinate and fund the 4th Annual Be Connected Seniors Expo.
The expo focusses on connection opportunities for elderly people. There will be a range of vendors presenting what is available in the community; including, entertainment, community groups, things to do, hobbies and interest groups and access to support.
It’s free entry and includes a low-cost lunch. We hope to see you there!

Like Rachel Corbett, from Martin Goulden Ltd in Lower Hutt - Having worked as a qualified landscaper for 15 years, she completed her carpentry apprenticeship last year, and loves it.
If you’re a woman interested in the trades, read how local women are doing it or register for The BCITO & Mitre 10 Building Women night to meet them and employers in person.
