Rimu Road changes this weekend

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

📢 Heads up, Kāpiti! Tomorrow the road layout is changing on Rimu Road, Paraparaumu, with one lane opening to limited traffic travelling south from Kāpiti Road. There'll still be some detours in place so familiarise yourself with the new layout and take care when you’re in the area.

The Amohia stormwater upgrade work along Rimu Road is expected to reach the Kāpiti Road intersection around September. Work will then progress east along Kāpiti Road towards Amohia Street, with approximately 805 metres of new larger stormwater pipe laid by March 2024. Each of these stages will have their own traffic management plan, which we'll continue to share with you before they occur.

We know this work is disruptive, and we’re constantly reviewing traffic flows and adjusting them where we can to minimise the impact. We appreciate your patience and cooperation. Upgrading this important infrastructure will help reduce flooding for approximately 350 properties in the area, while helping our district prepare to live with more rain.

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!
