New development

Pam from Paraparaumu Beach

Just wondering how many Kapiti residents are aware of a proposed major development at 240 Kapiti Road (horse paddock).
The proposal is for the construction of 135 medium density town houses & 165 car parks. See Kapiti Council website for plans & consent application. The developer in his application to Council has said the impact to all the surrounding areas will be 'minor'...hence their ability to have a very 'limited' notification process.
Whether you agree or disagree surely a major development of this kind should have been open to the wider community to have a say...especially as it will have a huge impact on such things as traffic on an already congested Kapiti Road, etc.
Hearing for limited notified resource consent will be held at Kapiti Council's library meeting room this Thursday & Friday 10/11 Nov 9.30am

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
