23 July 2024 | New dog rego, same dog tag
It's back to school this week, and we have information on the updated speed limits helping keep our tamariki (children) and taiohi (young people) safer in school zones. Don't forget to register your dog by 31 July, and read about updates from our pools, to skateparks, to new facilities on our trails; and opportunities for you to get involved in our Older Persons' Council, as a community leader mentor, and at the upcoming Multi-Fest!
16 July 2024 | Keeping our pools in tip-top condition
Can you believe we're already into the last week of the school holidays! Whatever you've been up to in the beautiful Kāpiti Coast, we'd love to see photographic evidence! Share you snaps on Facebook or Instagram with the tag #ShareYourKapiti or through our website.
9 July 2024 | Splash into the pools these holidays!
It's the first week of the school holidays and that means it's game on at our pools and libraries! Check out what's happening below and at our Upcoming Council events. This Saturday we also have our annual celebration of our kaumātua, Tākiri o te ata Kaumātua Whakangāhau | Kaumātua Day. Gather your friends and whānau and come along for a day of fun, kai, singing, and entertainment for all.
2 July 2024 | Council adopts Long-term Plan
We hope everyone enjoyed some time with whānau and friends and maybe even snuck in some Matariki stargazing over the long weekend. It was great to see so many people out and about enjoying the celebrations. It's a new beginning, of sorts, for Council too. Our Long-term Plan 2024–34, which was adopted last week, is now in place. It focuses on reducing debt and building a resilient future for our district and for the people who call Kāpiti home. You can read more about what this means for you below.
25 June 2024 | Coastal adaptation pathway recommendations report received
Mānawatia a Matariki Kāpiti! This Friday 28 June marks the rising of Matariki – the star cluster also known as Pleiades and marks the Māori New Year, or Te Mātahi o te Tau. Join in the celebrations and attend one of the many events we're supporting across our district.
Now is also the time to apply for assistance from our Heritage Fund, get your Maramataka calendar, sign up for school holiday fun and find out about work updates in your area.
18 June 2024 | Recycling trial ends while new zero waste hub opens!
It's Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu | National Volunteer Week, so join us in celebrating the amazing people who connect the different parts of our community together and help it flourish! We're also excited that our new Otaihanga Zero Waste hub is now open for construction and demo waste, with other types of specialist recycling to follow.
4 June 2024 | Stormwater upgrade builds resilience
It was wonderful to see so many people out and about this long weekend enjoying our tracks and trails, parks and beaches, and all our beautiful district has to offer. Congratulations to our Kāpiti residents celebrated in the King's Birthday Honours. It's your last chance to apply for our Climate Action Grants and entries for the Electra Business and Innovation Awards close on Sunday.
