Kapiti Coast District

Apart from Kapiti Island, perhaps the most visible features of the Kapiti Coast are Paraparaumu Airport and Queen Elizabeth Park.

Ponding

Other municipalities see this as a great concern, such as the Kapiti Coast District, New Zealand where, "groundwater ponding is a chronic problem, that results in damp housing and water logged sections. The damage that it causes is less apparent than the damaging events associated with floods, but the duration of groundwater ponding, which can last for several months, makes it a serious issue for those affected".
