Kapiti Coast Airport
The Kapiti Coast Airport is under threat of being closed down permanently eventually.
This airport is unique to this area and has served this community well. Unfortunately the current owners (the Templeton Group) are property developers not caretakers and would like to see a large area of the land consumed with housing.
It would be devastating to our communities to lose this Taonga (Jewel) to a whole lot of housing in this area. We have lots of other areas of land that can be utilised for this.
A recent survey showed an over-whelming 85% of the community want to see our airport retained. This is of course is achievable by using the commercial area as an income to supplement the running of the airport. Kapiti air urban (KAU) have put together a credible plan to include some housing, commercial, papakaianga homes (for maori) and retain the airport.
Local hapu/iwi currently have a claim in on the land and they too want to see the airport retained.
Please support and vote for the candidates that will stand up and voice their concerns on behalf of our communities.
As the saying goes; 'You cant go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending'.

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!
