Paraparaumu's masterplan

This masterplan [PDF 5.28 MB] gives an overview of the long-term improvements planned in the town centre. Some of these improvements also intersect with Waka Kotahi | NZ Transport Agency’s work to make the existing State Highway 1 a local road.

Completed projects

We completed the following projects in 2024:

Coastlands–Rimu Road

This includes two significant developments from Coastlands, one of which includes retail expansion adjacent to Rimu Road, as well as establishing Rimu Road as a main street featuring more retail and other businesses.

Kāpiti Lights

Stages one and two of our work to upgrade the Kāpiti Lights area has made it more pedestrian friendly, helping create a setting that supports new and existing shops to thrive, and integrating Kāpiti Lights into the new town centre.

Old State Highway 1

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has:

  • built a roundabout at the end of Raumati Road
  • installed new drainage and upgrading footpaths
  • built new kerb and channel, footpath and driveway crossovers.
