Rimu Road changes
The Paraparaumu stormwater upgrade is making excellent progress.
The contractors have advanced further along Rimu Road than initially anticipated at this time. With works nearing the police station, the traffic flow will change slightly over the next few weeks.
👉 For those travelling on Kāpiti Road, the right turn into Rimu Road will remain open. However, please note that the left turn into Rimu Road will be temporarily closed once we reach closer to the intersection.
👉 The one-way southbound lane on Rimu Road will remain operational, and the northern entrance of the Coastlands Shopping Centre will reopen for left-turning traffic both in and out.
To ensure everyone's safety, it is important to follow the instructions given by the traffic lights and our dedicated traffic controllers.🚫
We understand that this ongoing work may cause some inconvenience, and we sincerely appreciate the patience and cooperation of all, while we work to reduce flooding to 350 properties in the area.
This work will continue until March next year, as it will progress onto Rimu Road and Kāpiti Road intersection before heading east towards the Old State Highway intersection and eventually north along Amohia Street.

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
