  • Sort out the Waikanae Library debacle, it is a matter of shame for this council. The Waikanae public see this as a priority. The Waikanae Beach Community Hall is another key piece of public infrastructure requiring major upgrades.

    Work towards branding Kāpiti the cultural capital of the region, as it should be. I am a huge fan of Art and Sport – an unusual mix.
