*Survey alert*

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

This week we kicked off our month-long housing survey to help build a case for change.

While there’s plenty of anecdotal evidence of current and emerging housing and social needs in Kāpiti, we need a stronger information base to support future discussions with Government and help Council, iwi and others to respond.

The survey is part of a wider needs assessment to determine housing and social requirements, examine their nature and causes, and set priorities for future action. While Council is leading this important mahi, in partnership with iwi, the assessment will be a resource for the entire community as we work collaboratively to address the housing stress in Kāpiti.

Take the anoymous survey and learn more on the link below OR pick up a copy from your local library or Council service centre.

Survey closes 5pm Friday 10 December 2021.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
