Calling all dog owners and non-dog owners
We’re asking for feedback on some changes to our Dog Control Policy and Bylaw.
The policy and bylaw help us manage the safety and wellbeing of dogs in Upper Hutt. We review them every ten years, so they stay relevant and fit for purpose.
Whether you own a dog or not, your feedback helps us know what really matters to people. It tells us what we can do to reduce dog-related problems and ensure their wellbeing.
To read the proposal and to make a submission, go to www.letskorero.upperhuttcity.com/dogs.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
