What's new this week – Everything Kāpiti

7 Jul 2026

Matariki, the Māori name for the Pleiades star cluster, rises in mid-winter to signal the Māori new year and we have plenty of ways for you to keep warm as you celebrate.

Kāpiti has shone internationally, nationally and regionally this week, with 50-50 recognised in the Michelin Guide, Canopy Camping Escapes winning the Emerging Gold–Services category at the Wellington Gold Awards, and finalists named for the Kāpiti Wellington Airport Community Awards.

Council is also strengthening tourism connections after being officially recognised as a District Tourism Organisation, while our Long-term Plan kōrero invites your feedback on what matters most, how we pay for growth, and where Council should focus over the next 10 years.
