Te Whaitua o Kāpiti Committee was established in February 2023. This is a group comprised of local people tasked with recommending ways to maintain and improve the quality of our fresh water. The committee was independent of any one organisation and the opinions recorded in the minutes are not a reflection of the views held by the organisations, but by the individuals involved.
The Tiriti House model was used for decision making in the development of the Kāpiti Whaitua, a Mana whenua house and a Kāwanatanga house.
