We are seeking Expressions of Interest from people who would like to join a new Age and Accessibility Advisory Group.
The group will provide advice to Council, through the Age and Accessibility Sub-committee, on issues affecting older and disabled people in Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai Lower Hutt, helping to make our city more inclusive, accessible, and age-friendly.
Members will bring lived experience perspectives to discussions on Council planning, policies, projects, and services, helping shape decisions that affect the wider community.
Council is looking for people who:
- live in Lower Hutt
- are 65+ and/or have lived experience of disability
- are well connected to communities and networks
- have an interest in accessibility and inclusion
- can contribute constructively in a group environment.
Applications are encouraged from people with a diverse range of backgrounds, identities, experiences, and communities.
The Advisory Group is expected to meet around four times a year. Accessibility supports and alternative application formats are available on request.
People interested in joining the group can:
- Apply online at hutt.city/advisory-group
- Complete a Microsoft Word application form and email it to AgeandAccessibility@huttcity.govt.nz.
- Or pick up a paper copy from your local neighbourhood hub.
For more information or support with the application process, email AgeandAccessibility@huttcity.govt.nz or call 027 287 3634.
