  • Empower the boards. The current council's bid to get rid of community boards was short sighted. Fortunately their decision was overturned.

    Continue current arrangements regarding iwi representation and input to Kāpiti Coast District Council, they seem to work quite well.

    Support a living wage for Kāpiti Council. Far too much is spent on consultants and lawyers and this dependence needs to stop.
