Dubbed Te Manu Rere, the flying fox was given a thorough workout by our Chief Executive Darren Edwards and Mayor Janet Holborow last week and found to be an excellent addition to our awesome pool facility.
Te Manu Rere was installed as part of our 10-year celebrations for the Coastlands Aquatic Centre. To find out more about the celebrations and SoundSplash, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

We can all generally agree that noise from loud music or parties in the early hours of Sunday is a no-no. But when is it okay to fire up the power tools, leaf blower or lawn mower on a Sunday morning?

At Council we play an important role in emergency management for Kāpiti, operating within the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) framework.
So how will we let you know if you need to evacuate in an emergency? Aside from the “Long OR strong, get gone” message for earthquakes and tsunami risk, at other times emergency services will knock on your door if you need to evacuate, or use loud hailers in the streets.
You can also download our free Antenno app, where we’ll send out alerts in an emergency situation – find out more at www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
We saw a bit of discussion about sirens going off – remember that in Kāpiti, sirens are for firefighters; we won’t use them for emergency situations or tsunami. You can find out more about the reasons for this at Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (WREMO’s) position on tsunami sirens 👉 wremo.nz....
Stay safe out there Kāpiti, and to make sure you’re prepared for an emergency, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
Good morning everyone!
We have changed our regular clinic time to Tuesday in Waikanae but do please ring or email us if you need to meet up at any other time of the week, whether in Waikanae or Paraparaumu.
