The Chief Executive of Upper Hutt City Council is apologising after a number of mistakes were found in its draft long term plan

The Chief Executive of Upper Hutt City Council is apologising after a number of mistakes were found in its draft long term plan

6 May 2024

Consultation on the draft 10 year budget has had to be extended to May 12.

GST was calculated incorrectly on the first year's proposed rates increase - of nearly 20 percent.

Another error showed the council overestimated how much money it would save by reducing council services, by millions of dollars.

Council CEO Geoff Swainson is sorry - and is encouraging people to have their say on the draft plan.
