Pre-election report

The pre-election report is an overview of the current position and direction of the Kāpiti Coast district to support the election process for the Council and community boards in October 2019.  

The Pre-Election Report brings together information previously published in Council's Long Term Plan, Annual Plans, Annual Reports and associated summaries. It provides information to promote public discussion about the issues facing Council and is intended to enable a better informed election debate.

This year we also produced a supplement to the pre-election report.  The supplement gives a summary of the key activities and services provided in the past three years and a brief overview of planned actions and general direction for the coming triennium.
