Ngā Ekenga Making Progress

We’re making progress: here’s our plan for the year ahead

Last year, we developed our 10-Year Plan for the decade 2021-2031 alongside our community – we heard your vision and aspirations for our city, and we also acknowledged the challenges we’re facing together. We built a plan to get the basics right, doubling our investment in infrastructure over the next 10 years while continuing to manage our finances sensibly and fairly.

In our 10-Year Plan, together we identified the following six key priority areas as a focus for 2021-31:

• Whakangao i ngā poupou hapori | Investing in infrastructure
• Hei Āhuru Mōwai mō te Katoa | Increasing housing supply
• Tiaki Taiao | Caring for and protecting our environment
• Taunaki Ōhanga Auaha, Tāone Whakapoapoa | Supporting and innovative, agile economy and attractive city
• Tūhono Hapori | Connecting communities
• Whakauka Ahumoni | Financial sustainability

This year, we need to develop the Annual Plan for the year ahead, which is based on the 10-Year Plan. We’re also engaging with you on our District Plan, which is a separate plan with a focus on land use and urban development. You can learn more about the Council planning cycle and the different types of plans online at hutt.city/planning.

This year we’re planning on keeping it simple: we’re sticking to the plan laid out last year, and we’re making progress on getting the basics right. This is a guide to the key projects we’ll be working on during the year. If you’re interested in more detail, you can read the full draft Annual Plan at hutt.city/annualplan2022.
