Support to return Kāpiti airport land to tangata whenua
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.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
