Kapiti Coast District Council are developing a plan to improve town centers, focusing on Paraparaumu and Waikanae. Take a look at their online newspaper for new information on the project:
On Thursday 25 April we commemorate ANZAC day, thus our trains, buses and ferries will be running to a public holiday timetable. Our normal weekday services will resume on Friday 26 April.

If you're planning to enjoy the long weekend with some recreational boating, we've got some top tips!

As we’re going into colder weather it becomes more important to keep safety a top priority. Did you know that in water, the body loses heat 20 to 30 times faster than it does in air! 😲 We encourage boaties to remember these five simple precautions:
• Wear your lifejacket
• Take two waterproof ways to call for help
• Check the marine weather forecast
• Avoid alcohol
• Be a responsible skipper
And remember, if in doubt, don’t go out 🐟

Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.
KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.
"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”
40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz

Tania here from www.facebook.com... where I've been serving families in NZ and around the world full time as their sitter since 2011.
I've just moved into the region and calling the CHB my 'home base' and happy to make myself available to serve your holiday getaways with taking care of your pets.
Cost: $20/day - for the 1st 3 weeks, then negotiable thereafter for longer requests.
Feel free to look me up on my FB housesitting page for references, photos, & videos - you'll find me relaxed, warm and friendly and your pets loved and smooched often! Not to mention plants watered and general security of having someone around.
I work from 'home' as an illustrator so your pets will have plenty of time hanging out with a human. I'm a non-smoker and a bit of a teetotaler with a cleared police check, should you require extra assurance.
Book me today!
