⚠️Of immediate concern are the six damaged macrocarpa trees at Te Atiawa Park. Several of these large trees were uprooted, an indication of the wind’s strength. Contractors will be working to get these cleared from today. PLEASE keep clear of fallen or damaged trees, they are NOT SAFE to be on or around‼️
Our teams are also out assessing our other parks and reserves today – there's a bit of debris scattered around different parts of Kāpiti. We’ll be getting that cleaned up as soon as possible.
If your property has been damaged by a tree on Council property, or you come across something that needs our attention as a result of the winds, please contact us by...

Held from the 11th-17th September, Māori Language week gives us a chance to celebrate our beautiful national language. Maybe you'll be celebrating by watching the Toku Reo videos and using Te Aka (Maōri Dictionary) to improve your knowledge, or maybe you've found a buddy for the week that will only kōrero in te reo with you. Ka pai!

There’s a new word puzzle that’s a little “anagram-istic”, a tad “Boggle-ing” and a bit harder than both. It’s aptly named, The Hard Word.

There’s a new word puzzle that’s a little “anagram-istic”, a tad “Boggle-ing” and a bit harder than both. It’s aptly named, The Hard Word.
You get one scramble of letters, one cryptic clue and one tense minute to unscramble the letters and guess the answer.
Proudly brought to you by Neighbourly, The Hard Word can be found 9am weekdays on Stuff. Give it a go today - if you dare…
