It’s time to Kōrero about housing.
Kāpiti is growing and so is the need for housing and greater support services.
Kāpiti Coast District Council is currently asking you to share your housing story and aspirations to help build a strong case for change. We need a stronger information base to support future discussions with Government and help Council, iwi, community organisations and other stakeholders to respond to current and emerging housing and social needs.
Your story counts, take the anonymous survey at haveyoursay.kapiticoast.govt.nz/housing or pick up a copy from your local library or Council service centre. Survey closes 5pm Friday 10 December.
Hi Neighbourly folk, what is the most unusual thing you have ever eaten? This week I tried Very Vanilla deer milk ice cream and I liked it.
It is made by Pāmu (the brand name for Landcorp Farming) and Wellington boutique freezery Wooden Spoon.

The limited-edition ice cream is exclusively available at Moore Wilson's in Wellington. Would you try it?
It is Belvedere badelyng of ducks.
No idea why they have taken up residence in Belvedere Ave. There is no water here.

Help us build a case for change. There is growing concern about increasing housing and social needs of the Kāpit Coast district, so we’re taking an in-depth look at what’s happening, and what’s likely to happen as our district continues to grow. Take the survey.
From supporting those with disabilities to protecting our environment, you may recognise one of these champions going above and beyond to make your neighbourhood a better place.
We all value our independence, however over time our needs can change. Assisted-living apartments balance an independence lifestyle in a stylish apartment alongside support that makes life easier. Housekeeping, a chef-prepared meal, activities and outings, it’s the perfect balance.

Great question. Your executor oversees your will when you pass away, so it’s an important job. If things have changed for you or your executor since the days of cassette tapes and telethons, it might be time to appoint a new one.

You can choose a new executor when you update your will – you can even appoint Public Trust, which gives you the reassurance of an executor who is impartial, always available and has the right expertise.

We are still getting used to being with people, so don't like to be picked up. Our confidence is slowly improving. We are very cute and great to watch. We will need a large grass area with a weatherproof hutch for day time. We need to come inside at night to spend time with our family, and to help us keep safe from the weather and other animals."
If we sound like the kind of new family member you have been looking for, please get in touch. Remember if you want your pet featured on Neighbourly, email us on yourpet@dompost.co.nz with a recent photo. Please remember to say which suburb you live in.
