Flood map updates
Kāpiti is naturally prone to flooding, with low-lying land and peaty soils. At the same time, our district is growing with more homes, businesses, and infrastructure being built.
To understand where flooding might happen and how to plan for it, we’re updating our flood maps, and we want your input. Your local knowledge matters. Let us know if the draft maps reflect what you’ve seen around your home and neighbourhood.
You can also join our webinar on Wednesday 7 May at 5.30pm to learn more about the updated maps, what they show, and how you can have your say.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
