Proofreading Hutt City Council’s 2023–2024 Annual Plan

All councils in New Zealand are required to produce an annual plan. In early 2023 I was asked by communications staff at Hutt City Council to proofread the council's draft annual plan for 2023–2024, along with the supporting documents.

​

The plan would be released to the public for consultation, so it was important that it was free of mistakes and able to be read by the general public.

​

I proofread the plan for errors in spelling, punctuation, and grammar. I also flagged anything that needed further attention from council staff.

​

The council had a specific deadline to submit the plan, so the proofread had to be completed as quickly as possible.
