Coastal hazards – Public information session
Kāpiti Coast is being affected by increasing coastal erosion and flooding as a result of sea level rise due to climate change.
On Saturday July 23, 11am at the Community Centre on Ocean Road, join our Takutai Kāpiti project team, technical experts, iwi partners, and Takutai Kāpiti Coastal Advisory Panel members to discuss the effects these coastal hazards are having now and in the future. Let us hear your views on how we should respond as a community.
We know its school holidays, so bring the kids. We’ll have drawing and colouring activities to keep them occupied while you have a cuppa and a kōrero with the team.
Come along for formal presentations from 11am-12pm then stay on or drop in between 12-2pm to mix and mingle with the Panel and our experts.
Visa Phone Scam Calls
Just had two of these scam calls about an hour apart: One was about $900.00 spent on Bitcoin. They got that out before I managed to put the receiver down. I had flour all over my hands, so I was a tad slow. Just a warning to let you know they seem active again around here. If you hear the word Visa, disconnect.

Kmart duvet recall
Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.
What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.
Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
