Vision Kāpiti 2060
What is Vision Kāpiti?
We’re working with our communities over three years to shape a clear, districtwide vision to help guide Council planning, decision making, programmes, services, and advocacy for decades to come.
The vision will reflect our communities’ needs and aspirations to 2060 and beyond. It will help drive changes that will ensure our district grows, develops and becomes the place we all want it to be. Shaping our vision is the first step in a three-stage process over three years.
This site sets out the aspirations of our communities gathered in Stage One. This is a live conversation. If you have thoughts on this material you can talk to one of our elected members to input into the process.
Stage Two will look at how we plan to deliver on these aspirations in more detail, including choices we might have to make over the next few decades. You should hear more from us on this early in 2025.
Stage three will confirm the blue print for action for turning vision into reality and with will be completed in time to feed into the Long Term Plan to be developed in 2027.
