Wow, how it has changed, this once was the corner of Kapiti Road / Amohia Street Old SH1. But what year/decade was this photo taken?
I remember the old gas Station in front of the old Paraparaumu Hotel, but I don't remember the dairy on that corner, when did the dairy go? Was something … View moreWow, how it has changed, this once was the corner of Kapiti Road / Amohia Street Old SH1. But what year/decade was this photo taken?
I remember the old gas Station in front of the old Paraparaumu Hotel, but I don't remember the dairy on that corner, when did the dairy go? Was something else there before it was redeveloped into the the current BP site? The photo shows a Shell sign, and Shell later become Z, how did it end up BP?

It’s great to see that work is on schedule, on budget and it is looking amazing, looking forward to the skate park being a regional draw card again as it used to be when it was in its prime, more visitors to the area is a positive for the our local beach businesses!
Tarn Sheerin from the Raumati Community Board joined us for the walk through and after wrote (Photos also credited to Tarn):
I've not been on a skateboard since the 90s, but today, walking through the soonish to be completed new skatepark in Paraparaumu, I had a massive urge to drop into the bowl. But at my age, I would probably break a hip or someone else's and no one wants that 😆
I think the Kapiti Coast District Council staff and the team at Angus McMillan Concrete have done an outstanding job and I can't wait to hear how our youth and our visitors to the area love the new park, which is due to open in the new year🛹🛹🛹
There will be colour in the concrete, art by local graffiti artists and I'm hoping that KCDC will put on a public BBQ for everyone when the park is officially opened... 🛹🍖🌭
Angus McMillan Concrete have made over 30 skate parks, the staff all skate, well apart from Angus, who hasnever skated before.. but your never too old to learn right Angus!! Thanks team, we appreciate all your hard work

The developer is responsible for managing all aspects of the consenting and construction process, including site preparation and delivery of the new homes.
The residences will consist of 15 two-bedroom and 11 three-bedroom homes, fully insulated, with carpets, curtains and double glazing. Each home will have a private, low-maintenance garden and two shared community gardens in the heart of the development. These new state homes are expected to be ready for local people and families to move into by late 2025.
Kāinga Ora has been working collaboratively with the developer Gibbons and Co. to ensure the homes will best meet the needs of the people and families who will live there and the community. "
We hope Kāinga Ora will stay to their word, with priority given to local people and families in need, above others relocated from outside our district.
While this development is in Ramuati, it falls under the Paraparaumu Community Board; thank you to the Raumati Community Board for sending over the information.
Our board and the Ramuati Community Board will continue to monitor this development.
Please submit any relevant questions for the Wellington Company to the chair by 5pm Monday, 12 February, Glen.Olsen@kapiticoast.govt.nz
for consideration
