Kapiti Coast District Council have many sustainability-relevant services to ratepayers. Their newsletter 'On to It' gives details: back issues available .

The Council is not yet a member of Sustainable Living Education Trust, but staff are in discussion with us: we will know their choice during 2015 and are meanwhile happy to take provisional registrations (see link above on this page). Passwords will only be issued when they join, but we will supply occasional newsletters on Future Living Skills.

Here are some initial USEFUL LINKS for the Kapiti district.
