Council projects

Kāpiti Island is the icon of the Kāpiti Coast. Te Uruhi, previously known as the Kāpiti Gateway, will be a development on the south bank of Tikotu Stream in Maclean Park, Paraparaumu, including a biosecurity facility for visitors to Kāpiti Island.

Like many areas in New Zealand the Kāpiti Coast District is experiencing increasing demand for housing and pressure on its public housing services.

There's plenty of projects going on around our district, in each of our local towns.

As we develop new guiding strategies, policies and plans, or review existing ones, you'll find information about what we're doing on this page.

Due to issues resulting from ongoing weather-tightness issues, Te Newhanga Kāpiti Community Centre will be closed from 31 May 2021. Council is committed to rebuilding or replacing the centre.

With the opening of the Mackays to Peka Peka Expressway, the old State Highway 1 (SH1), between Poplar Avenue and Peka Peka, is no longer required for state highway purposes. It will become a fit-for-purpose local road.

Kāpiti is set for growth and economic success. Our close proximity to Wellington will be significantly enhanced by the building of the Mackays to Peka Peka Expressway, Transmission Gully and the Peka Peka to Ōtaki Expressway (Kāpiti Expressway).
