Hutt City Council

Our Mission:

At Hutt City Council our vision is to build a connected, resilient and inclusive city where all of our people thrive.
Kia noho mai tēnei tãone hei pou herenga waka, hei pou herenga kaupapa, hei wāhi whai hua ki hona iwi.
From our earliest days adapting to our geography and setting up NZ's first Kohanga Reo, to setting global time standards and community-led housing partnerships homing those in need. In everything we do, we're led by our values of Manaakitanga, Kotahitanga and Rangatiratanga and our partnership with Mana Whenua.
