Community liaison group
The community liaison group CLG works to improve communication between residents around the Kāpiti Coast Airport, airport users and Council, helps people understand and comply with airport noise rules, and administers the Kāpiti Coast Airport Noise Management Plan. It was founded in August 2007 following the adoption of the Airport Noise Management Plan by the Kāpiti Coast District Council.
The Airport Noise Management Plan was developed by a review panel and accepted by Council in September 2010 as meeting the new District Plan requirements. The District Plan requires Council to review the plan at least every three years. The latest version of the Airport Noise Management Plan [PDF 530 KB] was updated through a Council-initiated review in 2023.
The CLG is made up of representatives from the Paraparaumu and Raumati communities, airport users, the airport owner and management, and local iwi.
The current committee is:
| Independent Chair | Sue Wells |
