Road works - Paraparaumu and Raumati
Kia ora Kāpiti, this note is to let you know Higgins will be working nights in Paraparaumu and Raumati for a couple of weeks starting Sunday night, weather permitting.
They will be re-surfacing parts of Poplar Ave, Raumati Rd, Ruapehu St and Hinemoa St where the road is showing wear and tear and needs repairing. Property owners and residents will have received a letter about this work.
Work is expected to take five nights and will be spread over a couple of weeks and is expected to be complete by 8 September. It is expected each site will take one to two nights to complete.
Traffic management will be in place. There may be some noise but it is not expected to be too disruptive.

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!
