Consultation on a draft Speed Management Plan for Kāpiti now open

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

Kia ora Kāpiti. Consultation on a draft Speed Management Plan for Kāpiti is now open. To find out about it and submit your thoughts, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
Key points to know:
– The Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2022 requires all road-controlling authorities to develop Speed Management Plans.
– This draft Speed Management Plan outlines what a transport network *could* look like in 10 years.
– It also provides a three-year implementation programme for ‘high-benefit areas’ identified by Waka Kotahi.
– We’re asking for feedback on proposals to reduce speed limits outside 20 Kāpiti schools, on three road corridors and in five town centres before 2027.
– We're also asking for feedback on options for speed management beyond 2027.
Submissions close 9 June 2023, so there's plenty of time to read the plan and provide responses.

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.

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!
