Vision Kāpiti - Have your say on education

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

With kids heading back to school this week we thought it's a good time to ask your thoughts on education in Kāpiti – what could be improved? Share your vision for Kāpiti and have your say online now 👉🏼haveyoursay.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

We want to make sure everyone in Kāpiti can access a range of education services to help them to pursue fulfilling careers. We also need to make sure they’re the right type of education services so we can encourage rangatahi (young people) to study here and then stay on to work locally. ✏️🎓📚

We’re already exploring options for an education hub to help students find pathways to employment right here in Kāpiti – and we’d like to hear what you think Kāpiti needs now and for the future.

Visit haveyoursay.kapiticoast.govt.nz... to share your ideas and aspirations! Your feedback will help to inform a districtwide vision to enable a sustainable future and guide Council planning now, and over the next couple of decades.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
