Last year, our Sustainability Stimulus Grant helped fund seven projects including indigenous forestry restoration, water infrastructure, food programmes, and a pest control programme. The grant is now open for a second round and we’re looking for sustainability projects that can benefit Upper Hutt and need help with funding
Whether it’s taking pressure off existing infrastructure, changing the status quo, making an existing process more sustainable, or completely out-of-the-box thinking, we want to help get your project up and running!

Ban the selling of what most crims seem to want from these places - cigarettes - and review the situation after a year or simply shut down all operations of this kind right now and so let the supermarkets reign supreme.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.
“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”

With public celebrations taking place following the All Blacks (men's) Rugby World Cup wins (2011 & 2015) as well as parades for the America's cup team, do you think similar celebration plans are needed for our winning Black Ferns women?
