23 January 2024 | What's your vision for health and wellbeing on the Kāpiti Coast?
We really do live in a wonderful place, as all those who took part in our bumper weekend of events, or saw the small pod of orca off our shoreline last week will no doubt agree! We want our place to continue to be a wonderful one to live, grow, and spend time with friends and whānau, so we'd love your feedback on ways the Kāpiti Coast can continue to reflect our joint aspirations – read our stories below on health and wellbeing, and our Council structure, for how you can have your say.

13 February 2024 | Share your love for Kāpiti this Valentine's Day

6 February 2024 | Waitangi commemorations bring community together
Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua ('I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on my past'). While today is Waitangi Day, locally we recognised this important date on Saturday, where it was great to see whānau reflecting on our district's shared history and learning about the tūpuna (ancestors) of the Whakarongotai Marae and whakapapa at their Waitangi Commemorations event.
