Hutt River Environmental Strategy progressing well

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

Alongside the RiverLink project we are very aware of the Hutt River environment. There was an extensive review of the Hutt River Environmental Strategy earlier this year, which included a lot of community discussion.

Our review of the Hutt River Environmental Strategy – which sets guidelines for the development of the entire river corridor from Upper Hutt to the harbour – is making real progress, with a presentation to community groups stimulating useful feedback on the kind of environment they want to develop alongside the Hutt River and the things they want to do there.

So far we’ve undertaken a survey of activity, spoken to a range of interest groups and began a round of presentations on the survey, as well as asked for feedback on the subject through the Greater Wellington Regional Council website.

The development of the strategy is of fundamental importance to the RiverLink project because it will guide our approach to developing the riverbank environment through Lower Hutt’s CBD. A draft strategy for public consultation is due early next year.
