Kāpiti's Advantage

If the primary natural advantage is our location, then the second layer is our climate and laid back beachside vibe. From its 40km coastline of sandy beaches and lush native forests, to its dynamic town centres and innovative business environment, Kāpiti is a destination like no other making it an ideal location for both business and living. 

In Kāpiti, you’ll find a harmonious blend of rich history and innovation, where local artisans, forward-thinking entrepreneurs, and passionate community members come together to create a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.

The Kāpiti Destination Story is a comprehensive toolkit made up of our positioning statement, images, videos, infographics, case studies, and a presentation template.

These assets are free to use, and along with the story narrative, will help the Kāpiti community to stand strong in our sense of self. Along with the assets included in the toolkit, anyone can use the words within the key pillar stories to support their own business.

The Kāpiti Coast District is a thriving place experiencing growth in population, business and investment, with significant new infrastructure supporting this growth and home to Kāpiti Coast Airport. Home to a collaborative business ecosystem that is primed to make the most of new amenities and growth opportunities.

With a population forecast to grow, more businesses are expected, connected by the Kāpiti Expressway, Transmission Gully and the Peka Peka to Ōtaki Expressway. In future, Kāpiti will be connected to the Ōtaki to Levin highway, a road of national significance.  

The Kāpiti Coast District offers a diverse selection of early learning centres, primary schools, colleges, and Kura Kaupapa Māori, along with convenient transport links to Wellington for parents and caregivers seeking private education.
