Privacy Statement 

All feedback will be published on our website with personal details removed. Publishing feedback in full supports a transparent process and will assist in the public hearing process. If you have specific reasons for not wanting your feedback to be publicly released, please contact policy@huttcity.govt.nz and we can remove it if it is identifiable.

Public Hearings  

The form asks if you want to present to Councillors at a Subcommittee hearing. If so, you must provide your name and contact details (at the end of the survey).

If you choose to speak, Council staff will contact you to arrange a time. The hearing will be on 19 May 2025. 

All survey feedback will be considered, whether or not you present at a hearing. Final decisions and adoption of the updated Bylaw and Policy will occur in July 2025.

Storing personal information  

Council stores information with reasonable physical and technological safeguards against loss and disclosure. Only staff with a legitimate reason can access personal information. Council’s code of conduct prohibits unauthorised disclosure of confidential information. In line with the Public Records Act, Council may destroy records once they are no longer required for legislative or business purposes.  

Access to your information  

The personal information you provide will be accessible only by Council staff and is not shared with any third party outside of the Have Your Say survey platform (you can read their Privacy Statement here). You have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected if you think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of your information, or to have it corrected, please contact us at policy@huttcity.govt.nz, or 04 570 6666, or 30 Laings Road, Lower Hutt 5010.
