Funding boost for Ōtaki
Great news for Ōtaki. The Kāpiti Coast District Council has received funding totalling $1.4 million for two Ōtaki projects from the Government’s Provincial Growth Fund, an investment that will create new jobs and revitalise two well-used facilities.
The Māoriland Charitable Trust has received a $900,000 grant to upgrade the Māoriland Hub building to house the Centre for Māori and Indigenous Film and Creative Excellence, and council has been awarded $500,000 towards the refurbishment of its Ōtaki Civic Theatre.

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!
