Sustainability Stimulus Grants AVAILABLE NOW
Upper Hutt City Council wants to partner with the community to help create a more sustainable Upper Hutt.
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!

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
