How you can help those affected by Cyclone Gabrielle
Please note, Council is not accepting donations.
_______________________
It's been heartening to see Aotearoa New Zealand rally around the communities most impacted by Cyclone Gabrielle – and our people here on the Kāpiti Coast are no exception.
Since the disaster is so far from our region and many communities are experiencing roading issues and isolation, the official advice is that physical supplies are not recommended at this point.

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