Everything Kāpiti – this week's round up from across the district
27 May 2025
Hot off the press – we're going it alone! After careful consideration of the benefits, our priorities, and your feedback, Council decided this morning to keep the delivery of our drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater services in-house. Read more about the decision below and on our website.
Exciting news for film fans – Māoriland has won the Economic and Social Impact Award at the Cannes World Film Festival! A lot of hard work goes into running the Māoriland festival, which is supported by our Major Events Fund, so it's fantastic to see it in the international spotlight.
And a reminder that it's the King's birthday public holiday on Monday, so our opening hours will be a little different. Check our website for closures and adjusted hours. You can contact our after-hours call centre on 0800 486 486 for anything urgent.
