Meet the candidates meeting
Sep 04, 2025
Friday 19th September, 7:30, St. Aidan’s on the Hill
Your chance to hear the candidates for our ward (Western Ward), the Mayoralty, Councillors at large and for Greater Wellington Regional Council answer questions on why they should be elected to represent us.
Most candidates have already confirmed they will be attending.
They will be presented with questions relevant to our suburb and how it fits into the wider Hutt City, and given a limited time to give their views, so there should not be a lot of time wasting on unattainable aspirations.
Refreshments will be provided after their presentations.
If you wish to submit a question you would like put to the candidates, please contact us on normandale.residents@gmail.com. No guarantee that yours will be chosen.
