Looking for a room/sleepout/home to share

Gina-Marie from Otaki District

Kia ora, I’m looking for a room to rent/sleepout/home to share💞I’m a sensitive, mature, home proud, eclectic, vegetarian, organic woman with two adorable elderly, well behaved non-human friends: Cocoa dog & Chook-Berry chook.

Would love to return to the Kapiti/Wellington region and share a home with sensitive, fun, organic, kind, critical thinking humans & quirky animals. I was living in Ōtaki Beach with my nearly 20 year old son (he now lives in Paekakariki) until January 2022, but sadly had to leave when the landlord put the house on the market. At the time I was studying a masters in sociology, but due to finding no local accommodation I found myself with my animals on the southern end of the West Coast of the South Island - isolated, cold and in the midst of mass dairy farming and hunting…not a fit at all. I love connecting with like-minded people, animals and the planet with meaning and awe. Love making sourdough and pottering in the garden. I have always been an exemplary tenant. This past year has been the first time in my life where renting my own home is out of my reach. I dearly would love to come ‘home’, establish my roots again & step back into my research project…. I am coming back north on the 3rd of March - will be able to take a room from then. If you have a room to rent and you’d like to know more about me, please call 02041525272. Gina-Marie.

We’re installing a larger stormwater pipe in stages from Iver Trask Place to part way along Amohia Street. This is part of our plan to reduce flooding in the Amohia and Ruahine street catchment areas, and help prepare our district to live with more water due to climate change.

Beginning in Iver Trask Place, work will progress from the Wharemaukū Stream outfall to Rimu Road, then along towards Kāpiti Road and Amohia Street.

Traffic management will be in place around the work area. For more information, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
