Civic Centre Council’s Civic Centre will be closed
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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
