Vision Kāpiti | Paekākāriki and Waikanae drop-in sessions
Calling all Paekākāriki and Waikanae residents – our community boards have been collaborating with their communities on the Vision Kāpiti project, developing draft local visions based on your input. We've reviewed your initial feedback and identified key themes reflecting your local community's needs and aspirations, but we want you to let us know if we’ve got it right.
Come along to your community board’s workshop or drop-in sessions to hear more and share your thoughts:
? Paekākāriki – Wednesday 15 May, 7–8.30pm, St Peter's Village Hall
? Waikanae – Tuesday 21 May, 5–7pm, Waikanae Community Centre, 28 Utauta Street, Waikanae.
And there's going to be pop-up engagement hubs at all of our libraries in June.
Does what we’ve heard so far reflect what’s important to you? Is anything missing? Come along and help us land a future vision for Kāpiti, together. To find out more, visit haveyoursay.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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!
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!
