26 November 2024 | Your vision for Kāpiti
With December just around the corner, we can't wait to stay local this Kāpiti summer. This Saturday 30 November is the highly anticipated annual Kāpiti Food Fair – don't miss out! Our summer beach dog zones start this Sunday – make sure you know where and when your dog can be on the beach this summer.
Even if you don't have a dog, it can be handy to know what these zones are, so we can all share our stunning beach spaces happily together. And it's the last week to register a float for our Christmas on the Coast parade – applications close 5pm, Monday 2 December, so get yours in soon!

Spring winds are blowing and if you're letting off fireworks, stay safe by following these tips and keep fireworks out of our public spaces, like beaches, reserves, parks, and sports fields.

22 October 2024 | Congratulations to our two Recreation Award finalists
The long weekend is in sight, and rain or shine, we hope everyone can take some time to recharge, relax, and reconnect with family and whānau. That includes our hard-working frontline staff.

15 October 2024 | What "fast-track consenting" means for us
The aurora australis once again delighted many across our district on Friday, perhaps as a farewell to the school holidays – it was great to see so many of you out enjoying what our pools and libraries had to offer.

Wherever you live, you can plan your trail online to make sure you don't miss out on your favourites or the chance to discover something new.
