Kāpiti's rubbish dumps may open next week
The Otaihanga and Ōtaki transfer stations will likely re-open under alert level 3, the Kāpiti mayor says.
In a press release issued on Monday, Mayor K Gurunathan said while the alert level is being reduced from 11.59pm on April 27, significant restrictions will remain in place.
“...the district’s public libraries, pools, playgrounds and community venues will remain closed."
A decision had yet to be made on the rubbish dumps but they would likely open.
“There’s a lot of detail to be worked through and the operators of these facilities need to be satisfied that they can operate safely and effectively under the government’s Covid-19 guidelines.
“We’ll be updating the Covid-19 page on our Council’s website once we have more clarity on the situation and will do our best to communicate any changes."
The Council’s virtual emergency operations centre and welfare support helpline will continue to operate remotely during Alert Level 3 and it's unknown as yet when they'll close.
If you need urgent support to access essential supplies call the Council welfare support helpline on 0800 486 486. The helpline is staffed between 7am and 7pm, seven days a week

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
