Kāpiti Coast District Council

The date of this notice is 4 December 2024.

The address for service is the same as those set out above for further submissions.

Under sections 19H and 19J of the Local Electoral Act 2001, Kāpiti Coast District Council has undertaken a review of its representation arrangements for the triennial local authority elections to be held in 2025.

Submissions

On 30 July 2024, Council resolved its initial proposal regarding the representation arrangements for the Council and its constituent community boards to apply for the local elections to be held on 11 October 2025. On 6 August 2024, Council re-affirmed its decision to establish a Māori ward and formal consultation on the initial proposal was open from 8 August 2024 to 12 September 2024 (5pm) providing an opportunity for submissions.

On 24 September 2024, Kāpiti Coast District Council considered the submissions received on its initial proposal. In total, Council received 442 written and 9 oral submissions on its proposal. The submissions have been analysed and summarised in a report considered by Council on 31 October 2024.

Final Proposal

Having considered all submissions, on 31 October 2024, Kāpiti Coast District Council resolved that the initial proposal be adopted, subject to the following three amendments:

• The proposed name of the Māori ward be amended to Kapiti Coast Māori Ward
• The proposed boundary between the Waikanae and Ōtaki General Wards and Community Boards remains in its current place and is not moved south past Te Hapua Road
• The membership of the Paraparaumu Community Board includes one ward councillor appointed back from either the Paraparaumu General Ward or the Kapiti Coast Māori Ward.

Council considers that the amendments are appropriate for the following reasons:

• Mana whenua submitted that they support the name of the Māori ward if the proposed macron on Kāpiti is removed. Council considered its options and considers it is appropriate for mana whenua to gift a name to the ward which Council has received and accepted.
• Analysis of the submissions received from those residents in the Te Horo area directly affected by the proposed boundary changes highlighted that the majority of the affected residents preferred to retain the status quo rather than move the boundary south to Te Hapua Road. Council considered its options and decided to accept these submissions and not change the boundary lines.
• Councillors discussed the discrepancy between councillor appointments on community boards and considered that making the appointments more equitable and consistent by only appointing once councillor to each community board is appropriate.
  
  This removes the discrepancy between community boards and sees only one councillor of either the Paraparaumu General Ward or the Kapiti Coast Māori Ward appointed to the Paraparaumu Community Board (instead of two).

Council rejected the submissions that disagreed with the Council structure of two at-large (district-wide), seven general ward and one Māori ward councillor as the majority of the submissions disagreed with the proposed structure due of the establishment of the Māori ward. Council affirmed its decision to establish a Māori ward on 6 August 2024 and cannot disestablish the ward. The Māori ward will be in place for the 2025 local body elections and a binding poll will be held with the 2025 local body elections pursuant to the provisions of the amended Local Electoral Act 2001.

Council Representation

It is proposed that the Council comprise 10 councillors elected through a mixed representation model, with eight councillors elected from five wards and two councillors elected at-large (district-wide), plus the mayor. The five wards reflect the following geographical communities:

Ōtaki General Ward
This ward encompasses the Ōtaki, Ōtaki Beach, Hautere, Te Horo (to School Road) and Te Horo Beach (to Te Horo Beach Road) communities and the surrounding Tararua Forest Park.

Waikanae General Ward
This ward encompasses the Peka Peka, Waikanae, Waikanae Beach, Reikorangi, Te Horo (to School Road) and Te Horo Beach (to Te Horo Beach Road) communities.

Paraparaumu General Ward
This ward encompasses the Paraparaumu, Paraparaumu Beach and Nikau Valley communities. There are slight adjustments to the south-eastern boundary with meshblocks numbered 2010100, 4013496, 4013497, 1997802 and 1997902 moving from the Paraparaumu General Ward to the Paekākāriki-Raumati General Ward.

Paekākāriki- Raumati General Ward
This ward encompasses the Paekākāriki and Raumati communities and the surrounding rural area including the communities of Emerald Glen and Valley Road and includes five additional meshblocks numbered 2010100, 4013496, 4013497, 1997802 and 1997902.

Kapiti Coast Māori Ward
The Māori ward boundaries align with the district’s boundaries.

The population that the Māori ward councillor will represent is as follows:

The number of Māori ward councillors complies with Schedule 1A of the Local Electoral Act 2001. The Māori ward councillor will be elected by all electors enrolled on the Māori Electoral Roll.

The population that each general ward councillor will represent is as follows:

In accordance with section 19V(2), Local Electoral Act 2001 the population that each general ward councillor represents must be within the range of 7,651 +/- 10% (6,886 to 8,416), unless community of interest considerations justify otherwise. None of the above wards fall outside the stipulated range and are therefore compliant with the fair representation criteria (+/-10% rule).

In addition to the above, two councillors and the Mayor will be elected at-large (by all electors of the district).

Community Board Representation

Five community boards will be elected. The five community boards will be:

Ōtaki Community Board
This community encompasses the Ōtaki, Ōtaki Beach, Hautere, Te Horo (to School Road) and Te Horo Beach (to Te Horo Beach Road) communities and the surrounding Tararua Forest Park, with the same boundaries as the Ōtaki General Ward.

Waikanae Community Board
This community encompasses the Peka Peka, Waikanae, Waikanae Beach, Reikorangi, Te Horo (to School Road) and Te Horo Beach (to Te Horo Beach Road) communities, with the same
boundaries as the Waikanae General Ward.

Paraparaumu Community Board
This community encompasses the Paraparaumu, Paraparaumu Beach and Nikau Valley communities. There are slight adjustments to the south-eastern boundary with meshblocks numbered 2010100, 4013496, 4013497, 1997802 and 1997902 moving from the Paraparaumu General Ward to the Paekākāriki-Raumati General Ward. The boundaries are the same as the Paraparaumu General Ward except the southern boundary which extends South to Tui Road.

Raumati Community Board
This community encompasses the Raumati, Raumati Beach and Raumati South communities. The boundary in the north at Tui Road and the boundary in the south at Waterfall Road/Queen Elizabeth Park.

Paekākāriki Community Board
This community encompasses Paekākāriki and the surrounding rural area including the communities of Emerald Glen and Valley Road and includes five additional meshblocks numbered 2010100, 4013496, 4013497, 1997802 and 1997902. The boundary in the north at Waterfall Road/Queen Elizabeth Park and the boundary in the south the same as the Paekākāriki- Raumati General Ward.

The Ōtaki, Waikanae, Paraparaumu, Raumati and Paekākāriki Community Boards will each consist of four elected members and one appointed councillor.

Appeals and Objections

1 November 2024

The Kapiti Coast District Council has made a consequential amendment to the Operative Kapiti Coast District Plan 2021 (“the District Plan”) to give effect to the National Planning Standards 2019.

The consequential amendment is to the definition of “retirement unit” in the District Plan, which was introduced to the District Plan as a result of submissions on Plan Change 2. The amendment deletes the (former) second sentence of that definition: “A retirement unit is not a residential unit” from the definition. This amendment is necessary to resolve a conflict with a separately defined term “residential unit”, by enabling that definition to apply to retirement units that otherwise meet the "residential unit" definition, which is a mandatory definition required by the National Planning Standards.        

This amendment was effective from 18 October 2024.

Copies of the Kapiti Coast District Plan 2021 can be viewed at all Kapiti Coast District Council Libraries and Service Centres during normal opening hours, or can be viewed on the Council’s website at www.kapiticoast.govt.nz/district-plan.

The amendments have been made under section 58I (2) and (3) of the Resource Management Act 1991. This notice has been published in accordance with section 58I (3)(e).

For further information, please contact the District Planning team by phone on 0800 486 486 or by email at [email protected].

PROPOSAL TO CLOSE SECTION OF RAILWAY SERVICE LANE, ŌTAKI, TO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.

Pursuant to the Transport (Vehicular Traffic Road Closure) Regulations 1965, notice is hereby given, that Kāpiti Coast District Council, for the purpose of the Camping Expo and Craft Market, proposes to close part of Railway Service Lane, Ōtaki, to ordinary vehicular traffic, for the periods indicated hereunder.

Road to be closed to ordinary vehicular traffic from:
Friday 1 November 2024, 2:00pm, to Sunday 3 November 2024, 7:00pm

Section of Railway Service Lane, Ōtaki 

During the proposed periods of closure, the following provision will be made for ordinary vehicular traffic, which would otherwise use the road:

a sign-posted detour will be in place, from Northbound Main Road (Old SH1), Ōtaki, to Ōtaki Railway Station via Arthur Street, Ōtaki.

Any person objecting to the proposal, is called upon, to lodge notice of their objection, and grounds thereof in writing, by Friday 4 October 2024, at the office, of the Council, addressed to the Access and Transport Administrator, 175 Rimu Road, Paraparaumu, 5032 or Private Bag 60601, Paraparaumu 5254, or by email to [email protected]

Under sections 19H and 19J of the Local Electoral Act 2001, Kāpiti Coast District Council is
undertaking a review of its representation arrangements for the triennial local authority
elections to be held in 2025 (to be held on 11 October).

On 30 July 2024, Kāpiti Coast District Council resolved that the following initial proposal be
adopted:

Council representation

It is proposed that the Council comprise 10 councillors elected with a mixed representation
model, with eight councillors elected from five wards and two councillors elected district-wide, plus the mayor. The five wards reflect the following geographical communities:

The population that the Māori ward councillor will represent is as follows:

The number of Māori ward councillors complies with Schedule 1A of the Local Electoral Act
2001, and it is proposed that these arrangements provide effective representation for the
district’s communities of interest.

The population that each general ward councillor will represent is as follows:

In accordance with section 19V(2), Local Electoral Act 2001 the population that each general ward councillor represents must be within the range of 7,644 +/- 10% (6,880 to 8,408), unless community of interest considerations justify otherwise.

Only the representation of the Ōtaki General Ward falls outside the stipulated range and is noncompliant with the fair representation criteria (+/-10% rule). The Council considers that the Ōtaki General Ward warrants a single member representing 8,510 people (which is a 11.32% variation) as the proposed boundaries ensure that the Te Horo community of interest, which community feedback suggests identifies more closely with the Ōtaki General Ward, is not separated by ward boundaries. The Council considers that moving the boundary to address the non-compliance with section 19V(2), Local Electoral Act 2001 “would limit effective representation of communities of interest by dividing a community of interest between wards” as set out in section 19V(3)(ii), Local Electoral Act 2001.

In addition, two councillors will be elected at-large (by all voters of the district).

Community Board Representation

The current Ōtaki, Waikanae, Paraparaumu, Raumati and Paekākāriki Community Boards will each consist of four elected members and will each have a specified number of appointed members as follows:

Further to this, the community board area boundaries will also be adjusted to align with the
general ward boundary changes proposed above:

• The Ōtaki and Waikanae Community Board boundary will also be moved south past Te
  Hapua Road and align with the general ward boundary.
• The Paekākāriki and Paraparaumu Community Board boundary will also be moved
  south-east moving the five meshblocks encompassing the Emerald Glen and Valley
  Road communities into the Paekākāriki Community Board area.

Further information

Copies of the full proposal including Council’s resolution, consultation document and maps
setting out the areas of the wards may be viewed and obtained online from Council’s website and at any Council library or service centre:

• enable Council to make decisions on that plan change without requiring a hearing.

Proposed Plan Changes 1D, 1F, 1K, and 1L

• Proposed Plan Change 1D reclassifies Arawhata Road and Tutanekai Street as Local Community Connector Roads, and Ventnor Drive as a Neighbourhood Access Route in the District Plan’s Transport Network Hierarchy.
• Proposed Plan Change 1F amends the controlled activity rule (ECO-R6) which manages modification of indigenous vegetation in particular circumstances and amends a list of key indigenous tree species (ECO-Table 1) to specifically recognise coastal kānuka as a species.
• Proposed Plan Change 1K amends the electoral signage rule in the District Plan to align with the Electoral (Advertisements of a Special Kind) Regulations 2005 requirements.
• Proposed Plan Change 1L rezones a number of council-owned sites to better reflect and provide for their community use.

Right of Appeal to the Environment Court

Pursuant to clause 14 of Schedule 1 of the RMA, any person or party who has made a submission on provisions or matters included or excluded from Proposed Plan Changes 1D, 1F, 1K, or 1L, has the right to appeal to the Environment Court against the Council’s decisions.

Notice of decisions

The Kāpiti Coast District Council (Council) has now made its decisions under clause 10 of Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act (RMA) on the provisions and matters raised in submissions for Plan Changes 1A and 1C to the Operative Kapiti Coast District Plan 2021 (District Plan).

Withdrawal of part of Plan Change 1A

Under clause 8D of Schedule 1 of the RMA, the Council has withdrawn the part of Plan Change 1A that proposed amendments to Appendix 2 to the District Plan. This decision has been made because Appendix 2 no longer forms a part of the District Plan, having been deleted as a result of the Council’s decisions on Plan Change 2 (Intensification) to the District Plan, which were made on 10 August 2023.

Key changes to the District Plan

Plan Change 1A amends requirements for new developments to provide accessible (disabled) carparks, and Plan Change 1C amends requirements for new developments to provide cycle parking. The primary reason for both plan changes is to address an unintended consequence of a requirement of the National Policy Statement for Urban Development 2020 to remove minimum general carparking requirements for new developments. As a result of the removal of the minimum general carparking requirements, the minimum accessible and cycle parking requirements were automatically removed.

Council decisions and links to the key information

The Council’s decisions were made at a meeting on 14 December 2023. The specific amendments to the District Plan that Council accepted are set out at Attachments 8 and 9 of the report presented to the Council at that meeting. The relevant report is available on the Council’s website at: www.kapiticoast.govt.nz/meetings

The District Plan has now been amended to reflect Council’s decisions on Plan Changes 1A and 1C and the withdrawal of part of Plan Change 1A. The amendments to the District Plan also reflect subsequent minor amendments to the plan changes pursuant to clause 16(2) of Schedule 1 of the RMA. All information about Plan Changes 1A and 1C can be viewed at:

• Plan Change 1A: kapiticoast.govt.nz/PC1A
• Plan Change 1C: kapiticoast.govt.nz/PC1C

Right of Appeal to the Environment Court:

Pursuant to clause 14 of Schedule 1 of the RMA, any person or party who has made a submission on provisions or matters included or excluded from Plan Changes 1A or 1C has the right to appeal to the Environment Court against the Council’s decisions. The closing date for lodging an appeal in the Environment Court is 27 March 2024, which is 30 working days after this notice was served.

Kāpiti Coast District Council

The date of this public notice is 14 February 2024.

Section 55(2A)(b), Resource Management Act 1991

Kapiti Coast District Council has amended the Operative Kapiti Coast District Plan 2021 (the District Plan) to give effect to Clauses 3.6(2)(b)(i) and (ii) of the National Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020 (NPS-UD).

The amendments incorporate and update the District Objective DO-O19 ‘Housing Bottom Lines’ into the District Plan, which represent the additional development capacity over the short-medium (2021-2031) and long-term (2031-2051) that must be enabled to meet the expected housing demand in the Kapiti Coast District. The housing bottom lines in DO-O19 are drawn from the Wairarapa-Wellington-Horowhenua Region – Housing and Business Development Capacity Assessment (HBA report) – September 2023, available on the Wellington Regional Leadership Committee’s website. A separate Kapiti Coast HBA report is also available as one of the local chapters of the full report.

Clause 3.6(4) of the National Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020 requires the housing bottom lines to be inserted into the District Plan without using a process in Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). This means submissions cannot be made on these amendments.

The amendments are effective from 1 December 2023.

The District Plan can be viewed here.

The amendments have been made under sections 55(2) and (2A)(a) of the RMA. This notice has been published in accordance with section 55(2A)(b) of the RMA. The date of this notice is 6 December 2023.

We are seeking applications from groups and individuals wishing to use Council-owned facilities (such as halls or aquatic facilities) for community events which benefit the district as a whole.

Remission of facility hire fees is considered under a grants programme administered through Council’s Grant Allocation Subcommittee. The maximum grant payable is $1,000 with a total of $3,300 allocated in the 2023/24 financial year.

Applicants must live in the Kāpiti Coast District, and Council must have received your application before the event takes place.

Applications close at 5pm Friday 11 August 2023.

More information and the application form can be found on our website kapiticoast.govt.nz/facility-grants, or by contacting the programme’s Executive Secretary Tracey Waye on (04) 296 4700.

The Grants Allocation Subcommittee will consider applications and make final decisions on 24 August 2024.

Have your say on whether we should renew, revoke, or amend the Council policy that enables shops in the Kāpiti Coast District to open on Easter Sunday if they choose.

Council adopted a policy in 2017 allowing shops to open on Easter Sunday. We have to review the policy every five years or it automatically revokes. This would mean most businesses won’t be able to trade on Easter Sunday, apart from a few places like dairies, service stations, and garden centres.

Find out more and make an online submission at haveyoursay.kapiticoast.govt.nz/Easter-Sunday-Shop-Trading

Copies of the draft Policy 2023, Statement of Proposal and submission form will be made available at Council service centres and libraries once consultation opens.

We need to temporarily shut off water supply in areas of Waikanae tomorrow between 10am and 2pm in order to connect a new water mains, and to allow for a diversion to support our stormwater works at Waikanae beach.

Both of these important projects improve the reliability and resilience of our water supply and our stormwater network in Waikanae.

Affected Residents

• Te Moana Road numbers 294–322 (even numbers only)
• Paretai Grove
• Charnwood Grove
• Nimmo Ave West
• Wakefield Grove
• Bressay Way
• Oak Bay
• Hemara Street
• Ngapaki Street numbers 10–18

Please plan ahead.  After the shutdown, you notice a cloudy appearance caused by air in the water. This should clear rapidly if you run your taps for a short period of time (1-2mins).

Thanks for your patience, Waikanae.

17 August 2022

The Kāpiti Coast District Council has amended the Operative Kapiti Coast District Plan 2021 (the District Plan) to give effect to Clauses 3.6(2)(b)(i) and (ii) of the National Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020.

The amendments incorporate “housing bottom lines” into the District Plan, which represent the additional development capacity over the short-medium (2021-2031) and long term (2031-2051) that must be enabled to meet expected housing demand in the Kāpiti district. The housing bottom lines are drawn from the Council’s 2022 housing capacity update of the Housing and Business Development Capacity Assessment, which is available at https://wrlc.org.nz/project/regional-housing-business-development-capacity-assessment-2022.

Clause 3.6(4) of the National Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020 requires the housing bottom lines to be inserted into the District Plan without using a process in Schedule 1 of the RMA (this means submissions cannot be made on these amendments).

The amendments are effective from 19 July 2022.

The District Plan can be viewed on the Council’s website.

The amendments have been made under section 55(2) and (2A)(a) of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). This notice has been published in accordance with section 55(2A)(b) of the RMA. The date of this notice is 21 July 2022.

On 17 February 2022, and in accordance with Policy 11 and clause 3.38 of the National Policy Statement for Urban Development 2020 (NPS-UD), the Kapiti Coast District Council amended the District Plan to remove all objectives, policies, rules, or assessment criteria that have the effect of requiring a minimum number of car parks to be provided for any development, land use, or activity.

The parking design standards and minimum loading space requirements in the District Plan are not impacted by the NPS-UD and remain applicable to new development proposals that choose to provide on-site car parking.

As required under Section 55 of the Resource Management Act 1991, these amendments to the District Plan were made without using a Schedule 1 process (the typical public submission process for plan changes).

These amendments to the Operative Kapiti Coast District Plan 2021 may be inspected on the Council’s website at District Plan.

Kāpiti Coast District Council advises the Keeping of Animals, Bees and Poultry Bylaw 2021 will come into effect on 1 January 2022.

The Bylaw helps manage the keeping of animals, bees and poultry throughout Kāpiti to ensure they do not create a nuisance or become a threat to public health and safety. It covers a range of activities, including animals (excluding dogs), as well as poultry, roosters and “stock”. 

The Bylaw has been amended to improve clarity and strengthen safety and nuisance rules.

Amendments include requiring all non-urban apiaries to be placed 10m or more from public places, unless an exemption license has been granted by Council; requiring a license to keep a peacock in an urban area; and requiring poultry coops and runs to meet standards set out in the Layer Hens Code of Welfare under the Animal Welfare Act. 

The Bylaw and updated application forms are available at www.kapiticoast.govt.nz/animal-management.

Submissions

On 28 October 2021 the Kāpiti Coast District Council (‘Council’) considered submissions received on its initial proposal regarding representation arrangements for the Council and its community boards to apply for the local elections to be held on 8 October 2022.

The Council received 532 written submissions and 59 oral submissions on its initial proposal.  In accordance with section 19N of the Local Electoral Act 2001, the reasons for Council accepting and rejecting submissions are set out as follows:

Final proposal

Having considered all of the submissions, on Thursday 11 November 2021 Council resolved to reject its initial proposal and adopt a new proposal as the final proposal for the Kāpiti Coast District Council and its community boards for the 2022 local authority elections. The final proposal is to retain the existing representation arrangements for Kāpiti Coast District Council with minor boundary changes and five community boards, including separate community boards for both Paraparaumu and Raumati. The proposal is set out in detail as follows:

Council Representation

It is proposed that the Kāpiti Coast District Council comprise 10 councillors, five elected on a district-wide basis and five elected from four wards, plus the mayor.  The four wards reflect the following identified communities of interest:

The population that each councillor will represent is as follows:

In accordance with section 19V(2), Local Electoral Act 2001 the population that each councillor represents must be within the range of 11,420 +/- 10% (between 10,278 and 12,562), unless particular community of interest considerations justify otherwise.

The representation of the Ōtaki and Waikanae Wards falls outside the stipulated range.  The Council considers that the Ōtaki and Waikanae Wards each warrant a single member for the following reason:

• compliance with section 19V(2) would limit effective representation of communities of interest by dividing a community of interest between wards or subdivisions based on the considerations set out in section 19V(3)(ii), Local Electoral Act 2001.

Community Board Representation

It is proposed that the Kāpiti Coast District Council be divided into five community boards, retaining Council’s existing community boards for Ōtaki, Waikanae and Paekākāriki and establishing separate community boards for Paraparaumu and Raumati. The community boards are set out as follows: 

Ōtaki, Waikanae, Paraparaumu, Raumati and Paekākāriki Community Boards

The Ōtaki, Waikanae, Paraparaumu, Raumati and Paekākāriki Community Boards will each elect four members. They will not be subdivided for electoral purposes. They will each have appointed members as follows: 

Appeals and objections

Any person or organisation (including a community board) who made a submission on the Council’s initial proposal may lodge an appeal against the Council’s decision. An appeal must relate to the matters raised in that person's submission.

Any interested person or organisation (including a community board) may lodge an objection to the Council’s final proposal. Any objection must identify the matters to which the objection relates.

Appeals and objections must be made in writing and must be received by Council no later than 5:00pm on Monday 13 December 2021.

Appeals and objections are to be forwarded to:

Attention – Sarah Wattie

• Physical address – Civic Administration Building, 175 Rimu Road, Paraparaumu 5254
• Email – [email protected]

Direct any queries regarding the Council’s decision to Sarah Wattie (contact details above).

Chief Executive

13 November 2021

On 26 August 2021, Kāpiti Coast District Council reviewed its representation arrangements, and resolved that the following initial proposal be adopted for the local body elections to be held on 8 October 2022, subject to public consultation in accordance with the Local Electoral Act 2001. Council will consider public submissions and determine the final proposal on 11 November 2021.

Council Representation

It is proposed that the Council comprise 10 members elected with a mixed representation model, with five councillors elected from three wards and five councillors elected district-wide, plus the mayor. The three wards reflect the following geographical communities:

It is proposed that these arrangements provide effective representation for the district’s communities of interest.

The population that each member will represent is as follows:

In accordance with section 19V(2), Local Electoral Act 2001 the population that each elected member represents must be within the range of 11,410 +/- 10% (10,269 to 12,551), unless community of interest considerations justify otherwise.

The wards and proposed boundaries comply with the +/-10% rule with the exception of Kāpiti ki te Raki/Northern Ward, which is over-represented with a percentage variation of -11.92%.  Population growth in the region since the last representation review, as well as the proposed boundary change between Kāpiti ki te Raki/Northern Ward and Kāpiti ki Waenga/Central Ward, mean the proposed deviation is less than the existing representation arrangements. The Council considers that moving the boundary to address this issue “would limit effective representation of communities of interest by dividing a community of interest between wards” as set out in section 19V(3)(ii), Local Electoral Act 2001.

The reasons for the minor boundary adjustments and combining the current Waikanae and Paraparaumu Wards are to reflect population growth across the district since the last representation review and the effect of this on communities of interest, and to provide for fairer representation to Kāpiti Coast resident and ratepayers.

Community Board Representation

The current Ōtaki, Waikanae, Paraparaumu-Raumati and Paekākāriki Community Boards are not included in the representation arrangements set out in this proposal. Instead the proposal focuses on councillors and Council staff working together to foster community-led development, and on new, contemporary ways to help the community engage more directly with Council.

Some plumbing fittings have the potential to allow minute traces of metals to accumulate in water standing in the fittings for several hours.

Although the health risk is small, the Ministry of Health recommends that you flush a mug full of water from your drinking water tap each morning before use to remove any metals that may have dissolved from the plumbing fittings.

We are recommending this simple precaution for all households, including those on public and private water supplies.
