Cars on beach a major problem for Kāpiti
Hi, Neighbourly folk, what do you think about vehicles on the beach?
A section of beach on the Kāpiti Coast is being used as a road.
Wayne Wootton says the beach between Peka Peka where he lives, and Te Horo, is used as a shortcut, when there is congestion on State Highway 1.
And local councillor Jocelyn Prvanov says she regularly sees cars and motorbikes using long sections of the beach, despite motorcycles and cars being banned from most areas of the beach.

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!
