Consultation on a refreshed Sustainable Transport Strategy is now open.
In the more than 10 years since our Strategy was written we’ve seen a lot of change, from a growing population to climate change, new technologies and most recently COVID-19. So we're updating it to help us continue to plan our transport future.
A transport system has an impact on our day to day life and our ability to do the things we want and need to, whether that’s doing the shopping, getting to the doctors, school or work, or getting out to enjoy our beautiful environment.
To have your say please visit kapiticoast.govt.nz/transportstrategy to read the strategy and complete a short survey.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
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!
