The Kapiti Coast District . . .

a special place with a great future!

The Kapiti Coast District has become one of the most popular places to live in New Zealand - and why not - we have a great climate, great prospects and friendly people.

One of the most rapidly growing districts in New Zealand, Kapiti offers a superb lifestyle, mild climate and beautiful natural environment which includes Kapiti Island, a world renowned bird sanctuary.

Kapiti has long been a popular holiday destination and offers an increasing range of quality tourist attractions to visitors. The Kapiti Visitor Information Centres are enhancing the awareness of the District through tourism promotion initiatives.

We have a wide variety of excellent sporting and recreational facilities ranging from whitewater rafting and other adventure activities through to first class golf courses, bowling greens, an excellent racecourse and a world class car museum.

Kapiti is well served by retail and support service businesses while new industries are also setting up in Kapiti. The proximity to Wellington with its international airport and container port, a skilled labour force and modern service infrastructure, make Kapiti an attractive place to establish new businesses.

Kapiti is a safe, caring, progressive community where the beautiful natural environment has been carefully preserved. The hills, the rivers, the beaches, the superior climate make Kapiti the natural lifestyle choice.
