What’s happening in Kāpiti this week

17 Sep 2025

With the deadline to cast your vote for our local election looming, we’re highlighting ways to connect with your candidates – from the Mayoral Debate next Monday 22 September to our Meet the Candidate sessions.

We're also celebrating Beach Clean Up Week with Keep Kāpiti Beautiful at Paraparaumu Beach on Sunday. It's part of our Sustainable Spring programme designed to inspire and connect our hapori (community).

This week also marks 50 years of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori – Māori Language Week. You’ll notice a little more te reo Māori woven through this issue, always alongside translations, so everyone can join in and learn at their own pace.
