We are taking positive steps to consolidate our future with this budget which includes continuation of our $1.2 million business stimulus package. Business has responded positively to our initiative in the first year with more than $300 million in development work planned in coming months.
This kind of investment will provide a lift for Lower Hutt as we steadily encourage investment in our city.
The Annual Plan also provides for major community projects including the Taita Community Hub, Fraser Park Sportsville, and redevelopment of the Horticultural and Town halls. They will all make a significant difference and represent a major step forward for our community.
Current economic conditions are still challenging and we are conscious of the need to ensure our rates are held as low as possible. I believe the Council has done its very best to contain costs while improving community facilities and services to our residents and ratepayers.
