It’s time to Kōrero about housing.
Kāpiti is growing and so is the need for housing and greater support services.
Kāpiti Coast District Council is currently asking you to share your housing story and aspirations to help build a strong case for change.

Your story counts, take the anonymous survey at haveyoursay.kapiticoast.govt.nz/housing or pick up a copy from your local library or Council service centre. Survey closes 5pm Friday 10 December.

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!
