Donna from Otaki District

KCDC have uploaded a video about the Housing Survey to YouTube (currently unlisted): youtu.be...

They also have a full video – includes the six people they interviewed: youtu.be...

They will be using one or both of these videos over the coming weeks on our communications channels. We would love it if you would also share your video on social media and via your networks. We have included some key messaging below if it helps.

It’s time to Kōrero about housing.

Kāpiti is growing and so is the need for housing and greater support services.

Kāpiti Coast District Council is currently asking you to share your housing story and aspirations to help build a strong case for change. We need a stronger information base to support future discussions with Government and help Council, iwi, community organisations and other stakeholders to respond to current and emerging housing and social needs.

Your story counts, take the anonymous survey at haveyoursay.kapiticoast.govt.nz/housing or pick up a copy from your local library or Council service centre. Survey closes 5pm Friday 10 December.

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
