Kāpiti Coast District councillors have passed a unanimous resolution supporting the call by the original owners of the Kāpiti Coast Airport land for the return of their ancestral land.

Mayor K Gurunathan said the resolution was passed following an impassioned plea to councillors by descendants of the original owners to back their call to the Crown to return the land to public ownership and to keep the airport operating.

The airport site in Paraparaumu is facing closure, with the possibility of 40 hectares being rezoned and developed for housing.

What you like to see done with the airport?

Motorists can expect delays next week as the NZ Transport Agency carries out resurfacing on the Mackays to Peka Peka (M2PP) Expressway.

Final resurfacing work is expected to be completed by the end of summer, meaning motorists will soon be able to experience a smooth and improved surface over the entire length of the expressway.

The works are a continuation of the M2PP Expressway resurfacing works from earlier in the year, which were paused due to the Covid-19 Alert Level 4 lockdown, and then over the winter months when ground conditions were too cold.

NZTA says with the weather improving, crews are preparing to restart from the week of Monday 7 September. Work is weather dependent.

Resurfacing works will be carried out from 7am-7pm. One lane will be closed within the worksite area and the speed limit will be 30km/h. During the evening, and when worksites are unattended, the speed limit will be 70km/h.
