About us
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 tāone hei pou herenga waka, hei pou herenga kaupapa, hei wāhi whai hua ki hōna iwi.

Our council has set out a bold and ambitious plan for us to achieve. We work hard to deliver the best outcomes for our communities, are flexible in our approach, and we're committed to creating an inclusive and progressive work environment for our staff.

Our Neighbourhoods & Communities group works alongside the community to maintain active and vibrant networks, both within Council and across our shared spaces. This group aims to enhance the impact of our collective efforts for the communities we serve.​
