Kāpiti Coast District Council is urging people to have their say on its draft Long-term Plan 2021–41 before it’s too late. Consultation closes 5pm, Monday 10 May.

The draft Long-term Plan lays out the mahi Council intends to do over the next 20 years. It details the planned activities, services and projects, how much things are likely to cost and how Council plans to pay for them.

Mayor K Gurunathan says council has received close to 200 submissions so far.


“We’re looking for people’s views on four key decisions, the big issues and challenges we’re facing as a district, our proposal to increase our work programme and the proposed average rates increase.
Council is scheduled to adopt the final Long-term Plan end of June
