Long Term Plan 2021 – 2031
Thank you Upper Hutt!
We have formally adopted the Long Term Plan 2021 – 2031, following a community-wide consultation during March and April. We received close to 1,000 submissions—almost three times what we had for the previous LTP.
THANK YOU for sharing your thoughts and feedback on the plans for our city for the next 10 years! It helps us in our decision making when we know that we are hearing from a larger number of our residents.
The plan that’s been adopted focuses on meeting both the current and future needs of our city, in a financially prudent way. It’s available on our website and we encourage you to read through it to see what we will be working on and where we’ll be investing.
Highlights include:
>Significant investment in our core infrastructure.
>Upgrades to H2O Xtream and the Civic Centre.
>New sustainability grant and other sustainability initiatives.
>$20 M on walking and cycling infrastructure.
>Economic development of our city and enhancing the vibrancy of our city centre
To make sure we can deliver our plan, the average rates increase over 10 years is 4.8% per annum.

Poll: Is street parking fair game?
Some people are frustrated by their neighbours or neighbour's friends parking on the street outside their house. This means they have to park further away themselves.
Do you think it is inconsiderate to park directly outside a neighbour's house on the road? Or do you think street parking is fair game?
Share your thoughts below.
