Tō Tātou Tāone 2055 Our City 2055 - Lower Hutt City Strategy

Haere mai Welcome!

This online platform is open to everyone who lives, works and visits Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai Lower Hutt. We want to hear from a diverse range of people with mix of ages and backgrounds, knowledge and experience, who are interested in helping shape the future of our city.

Tō Tātou Tāone 2055 isn’t just about addressing today’s challenges, it’s about tomorrow’s possibilities!

Tō Tātou Tāone 2055 Our City 2055, is a shared vision for the future of Te Awa Kairangi Ki Tai Lower Hutt, shaped by the voices and aspirations of our communities. People from key organisations across the city are working together to develop a strategy for the long-term future of Lower Hutt.

There are some tough things we need to deal with, like the impacts of climate change, accommodating population growth, and ageing water infrastructure. But there are also exciting things happening, like Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi (RiverLink) and more people of diverse ethnicities choosing to make Lower Hutt their home. This strategy will help us tackle the hard stuff and make the most of the good stuff!

We’ve reached an important point in our drafting with the City Leadership Group (learn more about them here). Now, we want to check in with you to make sure we’re heading in the right direction.
