It’s a city where its people feel valued”. Huliana Whonu Fanua, WelTec student and former Head Girl of Naenae College, guest speaker City Summit 2024
"Our history is not just a record of what has been; it is our greatest guide to what must come. We honour the past by forging ahead with new and revitalised energy, ensuring that our children and grandchildren inherit a world where they can flourish". Kara Puketapu-Dentice, Chief Executive of Taranaki Whānui ki te Upoko o Te Ika, guest speaker City Summit 2024
On Wednesday 18 September 2024, 200 people attended the inaugural Lower Hutt City Summit, taking the first step in creating a long-term direction for the city. We asked members of our communities to share their thoughts on what matters most to them; what they’re grateful for in Lower Hutt, what we could do better and what we want to leave for future generations.

Background
Share Background on Facebook Share Background on Twitter Share Background on Linkedin Email Background linkTe Awa Kairangi ki Tai Lower Hutt is facing significant challenges that will continue to disrupt our communities and the economy if we don’t commit to a coordinated, long-term response.
The purpose of the City Strategy is a document that will look to address these challanges by having a 30-year outlook. We want this document to be created alongside the community, reflecting the voices and aspirations of our people, to set goals and identify plans that we can work on together to guide our city into the future.
We acknowledge that these challenges can’t be solved by Council alone, therefore this is not a council strategy but a City Strategy. We’re setting up a City Leadership Group (CLG) which will be a collective of senior representatives from key sectors and organisations in Lower Hutt who will jointly own and endorse the City Strategy.
Through shared knowledge and collective action we can turn our challenges into opportunities.
