Annual Plan 2023/24
Kia ora Kāpiti, we want to fill you in on all things Annual Plan and rates for 2023/24 👇🏼 👇🏼 👇🏼
Our Annual Plan 2023/24 will have an impact on everyone living in Kāpiti. It will lay out all the mahi (work) we intend to do between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024 - the planned activities, services, and projects we plan to progress and why, how much things are likely to cost, and how we plan to pay.
In a nutshell:
💪🏼 We’re sticking to our Long-term Plan, making only minor changes. We will continue to invest in our resilience, making sure we have the infrastructure, services, and facilities we need to meet the challenges we are facing and support our whole community to thrive.
🚧 The year ahead is going to be far from plain sailing – the cost of delivering our projects and services continues to increase, and we have supply chain challenges and workforce shortages to contend with too.
💰 We've worked hard to reduce the rates impact from the forecast 14% increase (Dec 2022). The average rates increase for 2023/24 is 7.8%, just below the 7.9% forecast for year three of our Long-term Plan. This will vary depending on the location and value of your property.
The Annual Plan and associated rates paper will go to Council for discussion and adoption on 29 June 2023.

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.
