Lower Hutt is a great city...that was the opening to my contribution to the 10th anniversary edition of the Dominion Post recently. Our people love living here. It is a place with a wonderful range of natural features . Families can go to the beach, climb the hills or walk along the river banks.
There is a vibrance. The Jackson Street heritage zone includes shopping and restaurants. Businesses in the central city including the Westfield Mall offer a offer a diverse range of shopping and services.
We have encouraged the growth of business enterprise. Innovation and 800 science-based companies provide a firm base for growing into the future. Lower Hutt businesses are living locally and doing business globally. This is an emerging trend in Lower Hutt as we secure our future prosperity.
The Hut City Council has considered its future and provided for infrastructure. New community facilities are also included in the new Long Term Plan. The council itself is in good shape and was winner of the Gold Award, the only local authority in New Zealand to do so.
As the Mayor of Lower Hutt, I can say this is a great place to live and our current campaign, I love Hutt City, has wide support.
The last decade has been a period of significant change, but through it all, our people in Lower Hutt still love living here.
