Civic Centre Council’s Civic Centre will be closed

Upper Hutt City Council

From 15 August, the Civic Centre Council’s Civic Centre will be closed for essential seismic strengthening and all customer services will be based at the newly-refurbished HAPAI building located at 879-881 Fergusson Drive.

Services at the HAPAI building include:

- Payment for things like rates and dog registration
- Parking fines
- Regulatory things like health licenses and building consents
- Self-service kiosks to view property records and rates information

Council and committee meetings will be held in the Rotary Lounge at the Upper Hutt Library. You can view the meeting schedule at upperhuttcity.com/Your-Council/Council-Meetings.

All other Council staff will be working remotely until the strengthening work is complete. We expect the work to take about eight months.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
