Rimu Road changes
The Paraparaumu stormwater upgrade is making excellent progress.
The contractors have advanced further along Rimu Road than initially anticipated at this time. With works nearing the police station, the traffic flow will change slightly over the next few weeks.
👉 For those travelling on Kāpiti Road, the right turn into Rimu Road will remain open. However, please note that the left turn into Rimu Road will be temporarily closed once we reach closer to the intersection.
👉 The one-way southbound lane on Rimu Road will remain operational, and the northern entrance of the Coastlands Shopping Centre will reopen for left-turning traffic both in and out.
To ensure everyone's safety, it is important to follow the instructions given by the traffic lights and our dedicated traffic controllers.🚫
We understand that this ongoing work may cause some inconvenience, and we sincerely appreciate the patience and cooperation of all, while we work to reduce flooding to 350 properties in the area.
This work will continue until March next year, as it will progress onto Rimu Road and Kāpiti Road intersection before heading east towards the Old State Highway intersection and eventually north along Amohia Street.

Heirloom Tomatoes, Zucchini and Cucumber Plants at Waikanae and Otaki Markets
Rain, wind and cold - just what these veggies don't like! However, better times are on the way and you can get a head start if you have a warm sheltered spot to nurture these seedings. They are coming along well in spite of the conditions.
We'll be at Waikanae tomorrow morning OR come see us at the massive Market and Camping Expo at Otaki on Sunday from 10.00am to 4.00pm. There will be a lot going on, plenty of entertainment and foodtrucks for sustenance, plus the usual array of quality stalls.
So came and check us out. Even if you are not ready to plant just yet, we can offer advice on varieties and cultivation. If you would like the full ;list of tomato varieties available, please PM me.
