Representation Review 2021
Our councillors are taking a fresh look at local democracy, and we want to hear your views on how Council could better represent you and your community.
Councillors are proposing a different Council model for next year’s local body elections. As part of the six-yearly review of how Council should represent you, they’re proposing a change from four wards to three larger ones without community boards, but keeping the mixed model of five ward councillors and five councillors elected districtwide, plus the mayor.
All Kāpiti Coast residents are invited to take part and have their views heard. Have your say today!

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
