One week left to help secure Kāpiti’s future
Kāpiti Coast District Council is urging people to have their say on its draft Long-term Plan 2021–41 before it’s too late. Consultation closes 5pm, Monday 10 May.
The draft Long-term Plan lays out the mahi Council intends to do over the next 20 years. It details the planned activities, services and projects, how much things are likely to cost and how Council plans to pay for them.
Mayor K Gurunathan says council has received close to 200 submissions so far.
“We’re looking for people’s views on four key decisions, the big issues and challenges we’re facing as a district, our proposal to increase our work programme and the proposed average rates increase.
Council is scheduled to adopt the final Long-term Plan end of June

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
