Last Meeting
Lower Hutt City Council Long Term Plan 
 
Councillor Simon Edwards - Lower Hutt's 10 Year Plan                             
Because Lower Hutt residents are facing a 16.9% rates rise the councillors are attending every group and event and meeting that they can to explain the reasons.  Simon was standing in for another councillor at short notice but gave a very clear and well explained exposition of the situation. All councils are required to have a ten year budget plan reviewed every three years.  This is important as the city needs to plan for the future, particularly as the population is projected to grow from 113000 to over 140000.

Community & Member Activity
Anzac Day 2024
Today I was a proud member of the thousands of people who stood together to remember and pay tribute to the men and women who fought for our country.  Some of those brave soldiers gave their lives and some returned home to their loved ones never to forget what and who they had left behind.  We were asked to give thought to the morning of the 25th April 1915 when Australian and New Zealand troops landed under fire at Gallipoli.  It was then and in the battles that followed that the ANZAC tradition was formed.
