A huge boost for infrastructure in Lower Hutt

It's getting nearly 100-million of the 192-million dollar pie presented by the Government to help pave the way for more housing around the country.

Lower Hutt Mayor, Campbell Barry says the upgrades to the city's three waters will provide capacity for around three and a half thousand homes.

He says to secure a good 10 percent of the total pot, and over half of this latest allocation, is a great result.
