Policies

Recognise recreation and library facilities as core services that provide huge benefits to the physical health and wellbeing of many in the community.

Support culture, especially Māori tikanga, and use council funds to target the absolute best overall value for the community.

Reset facilities, events supported and grants given by restricting spending on Toi Mahara (gallery) and mothballing it for three years.

Invest in affordable, accessible sports and recreation spaces while maximising the use of existing facilities.

Research locally owned solutions like Kāpiti-run energy, housing, fuel and liquor trusts to keep profits here and power in the community's hands.

Support arts and cultural events that celebrate diversity, boost the economy and provide training and care to rangatahi and whaikaha.

Continue to support Te Ara Korowai both as an art facility and a vital social support organisation.

Make it easier for people to hold public events by reducing compliance barriers and providing adequate grant funding.

Promote dialogue on the old pool building to achieve a positive outcome that hopefully ends with a vibrant waterfront area for Raumati.
