About Council meetings
All meetings are open to the public except for 'public excluded' items.
Most Council meetings are held at the Council Chambers, next to our main offices at 30 Laings Road Lower Hutt. Community board meetings are usually held in our suburbs at libraries or meeting rooms.
If you have a complaint about how we administer meetings, briefings or workshops, you can contact the Office of the Ombudsman.
Council briefing presentations
Briefings are an informal way of providing information to councillors. They are a way for councillors to informally discuss matters or policy issues before they are considered through the normal committee structure. They are not a meeting for decision-making, but an opportunity for councillors to seek detail and raise questions.
