Nominate a local hero

Our annual Civic Awards celebrate and acknowledge the outstanding contributions of our local residents, while the Wellington Airport Regional Community Awards are a way to recognise groups or an organisation that help make Kāpiti a great place to live.

Civic Awards

The Civic Awards are Council’s highest honour for individual residents and groups who’ve made a lasting impact in the community. Based on public nominations, Council gives awards based on exemplary service or leadership for their community.

After a pause in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2021, the criteria was changed to recognise groups and individuals in our district who have demonstrated service to help keep our communities connected and strong throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Civic Awards are awarded to individuals and groups who have:

• enhanced the welfare and wellbeing of vulnerable communities
• strengthened community connections through compassion and kindness
• adopted innovative approaches to help ensure our communities are resilient, safe, healthy, thriving and connected.
