Repairs come in all shapes and sizes from sewing and mending to electrical items and IT troubleshooting – the repair cafe's talented crew of volunteers will do their best to help repair your items. At the initiative's last event in November, more than 70 Kāpiti locals brought in 152 items to be fixed. That's a lot of well-loved possessions given a new life and saved from landfill!
This event is proudly brought to you as part of our No8 Wire programme – find out more at www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

Hi 👋, does anyone have a truck with a trailer or trailer and wouldn’t mind picking up an old couch for the tip? It was supposed to have been collected, then it was vandalised and now I’m stuck with it as I have no tow bar.
Obviously I’m happy to pay for your time, the help and the tip … View moreHi 👋, does anyone have a truck with a trailer or trailer and wouldn’t mind picking up an old couch for the tip? It was supposed to have been collected, then it was vandalised and now I’m stuck with it as I have no tow bar.
Obviously I’m happy to pay for your time, the help and the tip fee.

Ngā mihi to everyone who helped keep all beach users safe during this period.
Please continue riding your horses in a safe and careful manner below the high-tide mark, and away from ecological sites such as dunes and estuaries. We also ask people using surfcasters, kontiki, kite, drone and other longline fishing gear to make sure your equipment is always monitored and visible to other beach users.
Summer zones for dogs remain in place until the end of daylight saving (2 April 2023). For more information on summer zones and how we can all look after our local beaches, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

While councils, emergency services and Civil Defence have plans in place to respond, in a major emergency these services will be stretched and may not be able to get to every issue immediately. Your Community Emergency Hub is opened and run by people like you, using the skills and resources you already have – together, we can get through a disaster.
For more information on how you and your whānau can be prepared, check in with our friends at Wellington Region Emergency Management Office and visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz... for more information.
