Poll: Have you ever flown in to or out of Kāpiti Coast Airport?
Kāpiti Coast Airport's future hangs in the balance. As its owners mull over its economic viability in a Covid-19 impacted air travel environment, locals argue it should be kept for the financial benefits and convenience it brings.
A Kāpiti Coast District Council report estimates the airport has an annual economic benefit of $4.3m based largely on travel and time savings for residents. The 40 hectare sight could go a long way to helping relieve the Wellington region's housing shortage.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
