How do you see the future?

Upper Hutt City Council

We’re working through a review of our District Plan and are proposing some big changes for residential and rural development. It’s called Plan Change 50

There are a number of changes being proposed, like:

- Requirements for good design outcomes for any residential intensification to make sure intensification is done right.

- Protection of water resource in urban environments - requirements for all new residential developments to manage stormwater run-off, ensuring this is the same as pre-development.

To read more about what’s being proposed and to share your feedback, go to letskorero.upperhuttcity.com/pc50

Feedback closes 30 August 2021

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
