Driving on the beach restricted

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

We're in for a great summer Kāpiti, which means our beaches will be busy.

Remember, driving on the beach is restricted to a few areas and for things like launching and retrieving boats. It's not a motorway out there, so please stick to the speed restrictions, and leave the motorbike at home!

It's important we all stick to the rules so everyone stays safe. Council staff have been out and about this summer to chat with beachgoers and, where necessary, issue tickets to drivers parked where they shouldn't be.

There's loads of information about our beaches and how to access them without a car – including the nearly 100 pedestrian access ways along the coast – on our website.

Visit kapiticoast.govt.nz/beaches to find out more.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
