Sustainability Stimulus Grants AVAILABLE NOW

Upper Hutt City Council

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 all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
