News from Hutt City Council
Hutt City Council has formally kicked off the development of a new transport strategy to help tackle Lower Hutt’s growing transport challenges.
The development of the strategy comes at a key point in Lower Hutt’s history. The city is growing at one of its fastest rates, evidenced by the fact it exceeded its previous 2030 population targets last year. This has added pressure on existing infrastructure, equating to a greater load on key transport links like SH2, the Petone Esplanade, and increasingly the Lower Hutt CBD.
There are also a significant number of key transport projects in the pipeline, such as the upgrade of Melling Interchange, Eastern Bays Shared Path, Te Ara Tupua (Ngāūranga to Petone Shared Path), and the long planned Cross Valley Connections project.
