What matters most?

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

Kia ora, as part of the development of the Long-term Plan 2021—41 we want to know what matters most to you.

This weeks question is: What matters most as we experience growth across the district?

We will see higher demand across all Council services from an expanding population, and these services must be planned for with extra capacity. The continued growth in key demographics like older persons and young families also have implications for the types of infrastructure and services we will need to plan for in the future.

How do we plan ahead for growth, and the challenges and opportunities that it brings, ensuring Kāpiti continues to be a great place to live. Tell us what matters most to you.
