We’re reviewing our representation arrangements – it's your opportunity to re-imagine your council and how it can work better for our district.
This is about the kind of democratic model we want for Kāpiti. It affects the number and location of wards and how many councillors we have, whether they’re elected locally (by ward) or district wide, and if we have community boards or not.

For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training and stocking up on essentials to putting together a grab n’ go bag or working with your neighbours to create a neighbourhood resillience plan, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you and your community can get through any situation. Joining or setting up a Neighbourhood Support group is a great way to keep in touch and work together to reach out, look out and help out one another no matter what life may bring.
Don’t forget! This month also coincides with New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, which will be taking place on Thursday, October 28th at 9:30am.
Let us know how you’re getting prepared this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
I got a pretty disturbing phone call yesterday from someone spouting filth at me in a strong Eastern European accent. It was from an 021 number. This morning I got another suspected one, but from an 027 number, but didn't answer and blocked both.
Anyone else?
