Other town centre improvements
Our town centres improvements projects are initially focusing on Waikanae and Paraparaumu town centres. Other work has already been done in most of our District’s other town centres, but over time we'd like to revisit and redevelop these. We'd appreciate your input into the potential timing of any future upgrades. These will be considered alongside the rates affordability issue in our long term planning processes.
Here's a breakdown of the previous work completed on town centres in the District, to give you an idea of what has already been done. If you have a view on priorities for future work for these and other centres please let us know at one of our open days or contact us at towncentres@kapiticoast.govt.nz.
