Make a submission

You can make a submission to give your feedback on consultations we carry out on a regular basis.

What is a submission?

A submission is a way that you can have a say on Council’s current consultations. You can make an individual submission, a submission on behalf of a group or a joint submission. Check out our guidelines below if you haven't done this before.

Making a submission

View our current consultations which state what is currently open for feedback.  

There are different ways you can make a submission.

1. You can make a submission online and complete our online submission form. 
2. You can make a submission by email: just send it to submissions@huttcity.govt.nz
3. You can make a submission by post. Send it to: Hutt City Council Private Bag 31912 Lower Hutt 5040

If you're posting your feedback to us, make sure you allow enough time for your letter to reach us before the consultation period finishes.

Please make sure your contact details are included in your submission if you want to speak to a committee under public comment, or if you'd like to be updated on meeting times and decisions.

If you're interested in giving feedback on a project or change but there isn't any public consultation going on right now, we can put you on a mailing list to get updates. Please get in touch with us and we'll help you get through to the right person.
