Group created to 'save' Kāpiti Airport offers new future vision
Retail and hospitality, an avionics hub, 2000 new homes and an airport less than half its current land area is part of a new vision for Kāpiti Coast Airport.
The plan for a reimagined airport was launched at business networking event on Wednesday by Kāpiti Air Urban, a group formerly called Save Kāpiti Airport. The airport is owned by property developer Templeton Group, which purchased the land in 2019.
Along with the new homes and an avionics tech hub, the group's ideas include an emergency management hub, commercial precinct, regional terminal, open spaces and eco-accommodation.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
