Have your say

Shaping the Kāpiti we want for the future needs all of us to get involved – step up and have your say!

We’re keen to hear from our communities on a range of projects, strategies and bylaws.  They won’t all interest you, but if you could take the time to give us some feedback on things close to your heart, we’d be delighted.

These opportunities won’t all look the same.  At times we’ll be after your thoughts or ideas to help shape our work as we develop options or progress work; at other times we’ll be inviting more formal consultation on draft documents and proposals.
