Can anyone enlighten me?
Is Waste Management not making enough profit? Should profit be a priority here? One would think there are relatively small amounts of money involved in relation to the Councils overall budget.
It seems we are to be kept in the dark on this, which immediately raises my suspicions that all is not above board. The Councils autocratic and high-handed action in closing the center with no public explanation leaves me wondering what else is going on. Their actions, in ignoring the submissions and workshop support for keeping the center open, along with failing to consult with Waikanae residents, contravenes the Local Government Act (2002). It is also inconsistent with their waste reduction policy.
At the first workshop on the long term plan, the proposal to close the center was discussed. However there was no publicity elsewhere on the issue and no feedback from Waikanae residents was sought. Putting something in the long term plan does not constitute public consultation. At that first workshop there was a majority of support from Council members to keep the center open. Subsequently, three Councillors changed their minds. Why? I would be very interested to hear the reasons for this. Also interested to hear why they thought it acceptable to close the center when the majority of submissions supported keeping it open and Waikanae residents were given no right of reply to the proposal to close it. It seems this issue was kept very much under the radar and only those "in the Know" had the opportunity to comment on it. How Council can justify this closure without consultation and against the backdrop of a climate crisis beggars belief.
Some single bed sheets, pillow cases and kids duvet cover as far as I can tell.

"The wild weekend weather certainly made an impact around the district and kept our crews busy with surface flooding and road closures. The consistent rain also worsened the slow slip at Blue Bluff, 12km in from SH1 on Ōtaki Gorge Rd. This section of road has been closed since September last year and as you can see from the new pictures is in very poor condition. It is very important to stay off this section of road. It is unstable and unsafe for both vehicles and walkers. For those heading into the Tararua Forest Park there is alternative walking access available, and work is underway to begin restoring full access to Ōtaki Forks."

A couple of days ago I was looking for an on call gardener for a mate who has a lawnmowing business.

The Kapiti Community Foodbank is no stranger to disruptions, whether from having to move twice, being cleaned out by burglars, a global pandemic, or toxic mould. Despite all this, through all the challenges of the past year, Manager Kerry Lovell, and the wonderful team of volunteers have continued to provide this vital service to the community.
Even during lockdown when everyone was in their bubbles, staying close to home, foodbank volunteers continued to arrange food parcels for those who required our support.
Now we need your help.
At present the foodbank is still located at the Te Newhanga Community Centre in Paraparaumu, however it will be closing soon, due to weather tightness issues. The Kapiti District Council are working with us, regularly monitoring the air quality to ensure everyone's safety. However our situation is dire, and we need to vacate the building as soon as we can.
We need to move - and we need your help now.
The Kapiti Community Foodbank wants a permanent home, one where we can consistently serve our community - as well as provide a safe and secure environment for our volunteers, and supplies. Our committee is currently working on procuring a relocatable building which we plan to move to a central location, close to Coastlands. We have managed to secure a 10 year lease at an affordable rate, meaning it can provide everyone with a sense of stability.
Our project requires a building fund of $150,000.00 - and we have already had some generous donations towards it. This local support has given us the encouragement to continue on with our next stage.
We are launching a fundraising campaign, the biggest since our inception in 1999, when four local women recognised a need, and started the foodbank in a shed.
To donate you can go to our website and follow the links, or by internet banking :
Bank account name: Foodbank Building Fund Appeal
Bank account: 12-3157-0048639-50
All donations over $5.00 are tax deductible, so if you require a receipt please send an email to: foodbankkapiti@gmail.com
For those businesses who are looking to make a significant donation, please email the committee as we are offering naming rights of the building, and individual rooms. We also plan to offer business benefactors the opportunity to display their logos on signage at the new premises, as well as on our website.
