Coastal Ratepayers United Inc.
Coastal Ratepayers United Inc (CRU) is a community group of Kapiti residents which represents their rights and interests, particularly in relation to planning rules. We have been very successful in overturning or improving bad planning rules over the last eight years, at district, regional and national levels.
The 2021 AGM of Coastal Ratepayers United Inc will be held on Saturday 13 November 2020 from 1.00 – 3pm at the Senior Citizens Hall, 45 Ocean Road, Paraparaumu Beach.
The keynote speaker will be the former NZ Prime Minister, Rt Hon James Bolger ONZ PC, who has been appointed as Chair of the Community Assessment Panel (CAP) set up to support Takutai Kāpiti, KCDC’s community-led coastal adaption project.
New members are important to keeping up our effectiveness. If these issues concern you, come to the AGM and hear what is being done and how you can take part.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
