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: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
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?
