Congratulations go to Hutt City Council councillors and staff for doing a good job following council’s formal adoption of the annual report for the year ending June 2012.
The council had managed its business carefully and produced the lowest average rates across New Zealand.
Councillors and staff have worked hard and kept focused on achieving benefits for our ratepayers.
This has been a team effort and my congratulations go to all councillors and council staff for their leadership and contribution to keeping the council on target,” he said.
The city embraced science and technology and encouraged new enterprise through a business stimulus package designed grow prosperity and create jobs.
The excellent financial management of the city was commented on by the international credit rating agency Standard & Poors, which reaffirmed council’s AA “very strong” credit rating.
The council also received a number of awards during the year including a Baldrige Gold award for Business Excellence, the only local authority to receive the award.
Lower Hutt’s population was boosted with the settlement of 700 migrants and refugees. A new community and sports centre in Taita, incorporating the existing Walter Nash Stadium, was also granted resource consent during the year.
The council had a rewarding year and will continue to carefully manage the city’s resources in the year ahead.
