Kāpiti Road changes
🚧 Kia ora Kāpiti. Look out for changing traffic conditions this week on Kāpiti Road around the Paraparaumu stormwater upgrade. Our crew will be laying new road surface over the trench covering the new pipeline, before work turns towards the newly cleared corner section.
The direction of traffic travel on Kāpiti Road will then ‘switch’ – with one lane of traffic travelling west towards the beach between Amohia Street and Rimu Road. Rimu Road at the Kāpiti Road intersection will be left turn only (or straight through to Waimarie Ave). The Kāpiti Lights access on Kāpiti Road will be left in, left out only.
Our crew continues to make excellent progress installing the new stormwater pipeline, and we expect to be off Kāpiti Road before Christmas. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we upgrade our infrastructure to reduce flooding and prepare for weather changes in the future.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
