DISTRICT PLAN
Hutt City Council is proposing an amendment to the District Plan to enable higher-density development in nine areas of the city. This
change provides for medium density residential development and suburban mixed use development. The purpose of the proposed plan
change is to provide for greater housing capacity and a wider range of options for housing styles and sizes at medium densities within
the existing urban area. This could include low-rise apartments and terraced houses in areas that have good access to public transport,
shopping, parks and schools, but also minor additional dwellings on smaller sites that do not have the potential for traditional infill.
