Coastal Advisory Panel event, Ōtaki, Te Horo and Peka Peka - 24 September
🌊 Our Coastal Advisory Panel is engaging with communities up and down our coast to get your views for how your area should adapt to coastal changes resulting from climate change.
First off the block is the ‘Northern Adaptation Area’. This covers the coast from Ōtaki to Te Horo and Peka Peka. We’re grouping these areas together because they are experiencing similar coastal processes and changes.
If you live in or have connections with Ōtaki, Te Horo and Peka Peka, come along to share your views on what you value about this part of the Kāpiti Coast, what concerns you most about the coastal changes you’re seeing, and your ideas for how the community should adapt.
Saturday 24 September, 2-4pm, Ōtaki Rotary Lounge, 25 Aotaki Street, Ōtaki.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
