Plan Change 47

Upper Hutt City Council

We’re in the process of updating our District Plan and will be undertaking a plan change that addresses the risk from natural hazards.

It’s called Plan Change 47 and has three distinct areas of focus: the Wellington Fault, Mangaroa Peatlands and areas of High Slope Hazards.

The proposed changes impact some properties in Upper Hutt. For example, the location of the Wellington Fault is now better understood and the location and extent has changed in some areas.

We want to give you a heads up about what's being proposed, ahead of a formal Plan Change in 2022.

Letters have been sent to impacted landowners with all the details. The information is also available online at letskorero.upperhuttcity.com/pc47

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

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?
